McCrae YC adds the first father and son Life Members
by Jane Moffay on 27 Jun 2013
Frank and Guy Bancroft, McCrae Yacht Club Life Members Jane Moffat
At the McCrae Yacht Club AGM on Saturday night, Guy Bancroft was made a Life Member of McCrae Yacht Club, joining his father Frank as the 15th Life Member of the club.
As many people know life membership of a yacht club is not any easy get, so father and son life members must be few and far between. How many other yacht clubs in Australia have a similar life member combination?
Looking at the Life Members board on the McCrae Yacht Club wall begged another question what is the mark of a 'family yacht club'? Many clubs claim to be family clubs and promote the fact they cater for families with sailing school, racing and a family environment, but does this make it truly a family club is there something more? Is there something in the history of the club, the people who built it and are its custodians for the next generation that gives it the edge over the words printed in a brochure or on a website?
The McCrae life members board will now include a father and son combination but it also includes husband and wife Barry and Joy Stapleton and brothers Graham and John Mason.
Look at the Commodores board and it's a similar story. Frank and Guy have been Commodore of the club, similar Graham and John Mason along with husband and wife Lyn and Michael Johannessen. Lyn was the first female Commodore in the clubs history.
This type of history and family commitment continually spreads down the generations with Simon Merritt following father Peter in the role of Club Captain. The environment and atmosphere naturally engage members to get involved.
McCrae is perhaps not unique in having such a strong family thread running through its club but with clubs needing to adapt to changing wants and needs of membership it is comforting to know that there are clubs such as McCrae in the rare position of delivering on the 'family yacht club' moniker across all aspects of the club.

Sounds like they're off to a good start, of course, they're only doing this to scare conservatives rather than out of some moral sense it's wrong to imprison people for minor (non)crimes. - ChrisWASHINGTON (AP) -- A week before mandatory budget cuts go into effect across the government, the Department of Homeland Security has started releasing illegal immigrants being held in immigration jails across the country, Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Tuesday.
Gillian Christensen, an ICE spokeswoman, said ICE has reviewed "several hundred cases" of immigrants being held in jails around the country and released them in the last week. They have been "placed on an appropriate, more cost-effective form of supervised release," she said.

"Keith from KMC fitted a front door to our home. The door was fitted with the outside facing in and the door locks did not align making it almost impossible to lock the door.He also left the door suspended by only 1 screw in each of the three hinges. He was paid the $200 by my partner for the job of fitting the door and weather strip.
I called Keith back to discuss the situation and he just hung up on me.
Please make up your own mind but BEWARE !!!!!"

Strategic Marketing
Marketing is a general term used to describe all the steps that lead to final sales. It is the process of planning and executing pricing, promotion and distribution to satisfy your individual and organizational needs, as well as those of your customers.
From this definition, it is easy to see that marketing is more than just selling a product or service. It is an essential part of business. Without marketing, even the best products and services fail.
Companies constantly go under because they don't know what is happening in the marketplace and, as a result, they aren't fully meeting their customers' needs. They mistakenly believe that with the proper amount of advertising, customers will buy whatever they are offered.
Marketing consists of the decisions you make strategically-behind the scenes-that affect how your customer perceives your product. Your marketing decisions need to include the four Ps:
Pricing is discussed in detail in Part 9: Pricing Your Product, and distribution is examined in Part 10: Distributing Your Product.
Your strategic marketing plan is an important part of your business plan; if you have developed a detailed business plan you are well on your way to marketing strategically. You will have established:
Marketing Strategies
Your marketing strategy outlines exactly how you will achieve your marketing objectives. For example, if your objective is to increase market share, your strategy will state how this will occur.
A marketing strategy is a way to give marketing orientation to your business by deciding to position your product or service in terms of buyer needs and wants. Inexperienced business people often make decisions based on what they like or want, leaving the customer out of the picture. A marketing orientation brings the customer into the centre of the picture.
You can achieve the marketing objective for profits, cash flow and market share by:
Marketing Programs
Marketing programs are strategic plans that include detailed approaches to the four Ps (product, place, promotion and pricing). Your approach to making decisions for each of the four Ps should closely follow your mission statement, company objectives, competitive strategies, marketing objectives and marketing strategies.
The Strategic Marketing Flow Chart
The chart that follows will give you an overview of the strategic marketing process. (A version of this chart is known as the "Stage-Gate Process for New Product Development.") If you would like to become more familiar with the theory behind marketing approaches, a number of organizations can teach it to you. Marketing courses are available at many Canadian post-secondary educational institutions.
Text description of above flow chart
Promotion includes all the activities that are designed to inform, persuade and influence people when they are making the decision to buy. Promotion consists of:
When you are designing a promotion plan, clearly spell out:
Suggestions for Inexpensive Promotion
As a new food processor, you can promote your product inexpensively and effectively by advertising through:
Of course, one of the best free methods of promotion is good word of mouth.
Your Promotion Objectives
Your promotion objectives need to be clearly stated and measurable. They must be compatible with the objectives of your company as well as the competitive and marketing strategies.
Your objectives will vary for different products and situations. For example, you have to promote differently to brokers than to wholesalers. When you're promoting to a broker, you need to emphasis what you want the broker to present to the wholesaler. When you approach a wholesaler, you simply want the wholesaler to purchase the product.
You have five general promotional objectives to choose from:
Your Promotional Strategy
Once you have reviewed all the possible promotional tools, the next step is to devise a promotional strategy. It should address the following issues:
Advertising makes use of the mass media to get your message out.
Forms of Advertising
You can choose from a number of different media. Each one has its advantages and its disadvantages. You may find that you'll want to use more than one medium to promote your product.
Outdoor Advertising
Media Rates
Promotional and media costs are the most difficult to allocate because their effectiveness is hard to measure in a concrete manner. Before looking at the dollar costs of different media, you should decide:
Common errors to avoid are:
Advertising Associations and Publications
Two excellent resources in planning your advertising campaign are:
Canadian Advertising Rates & Data
The National List of Advertisers (annual publication)
You can get free information or fee-for-service material on advertising topics from:
Advertising Standards Canada
Periodicals for the advertising industry, including Marketing & Strategy magazine (weekly) and Ad Age (twice weekly), are available through your public library.
Setting Your Advertising Expenditures
How do you determine how much you're going to spend on advertising? The following information will help you:
Media Directories
For contacts as well as market reach, pricing and related information about media outlets, consult:
Bowdens Media Directory
Market Wire
Publicity gives you free advertising through stories in newsletters, newspapers, magazines and television. You can get publicity by sending a media release to the various media offices, cultivating friendships within the media or with those who are known as trend-setters. Positive word-of-mouth can also generate interest in your story. Or you can attempt to generate your own publicity by developing a publicity campaign, which could include a media release.
A media release is a one or two page letter identifying a newsworthy event and outlining the who, what, when, where and why of the story.
You can send out a media release to announce the start-up of your new business, introduce a new product or announce any other success story related to your company. The media will publish or announce the story as a news item, and there will be no expense for you.
Publicity is one of the most effective and least costly means of advertising.
Sales Promotion
A lot of options are available to you when it comes to sales promotion. You'll probably find that you'll want to use several of them to promote your product and your business.
Three of the most commonly used in the food industry are trade shows, in-store demonstrations and coupons. You can also use direct mail.
Trade Shows
When you budget for a trade show and include this venue in your overall marketing plan, you'll be giving yourself a highly focused way to:
Although trade shows are relatively expensive, they are widely used in the food industry. If you plan your participation properly and present your business well, trade shows offer the potential for a high return in sales and contacts.
You may need several months to a year to get a well-located booth and prepare the appropriate materials and displays.
Choosing the Right Trade Show
Your first step is to develop a list of several shows you feel would be suitable. Various directories are available that contain a complete index of trade shows, listed chronologically, geographically and by subject. As well, each listing has a phone number for the show's contact.
Trade Show Week contains listings of trade shows in the United States, Canada and Mexico in its domestic edition and other countries in its international edition.
Trade Show Week
Why This Show?
Part of your show-planning process is setting the objectives for the show. First, be aware of which type of show it is-for the final consumer (consumer show) or for your food chain partners (trade show).
Examine your goals. Do you want to take orders on the spot, build your brand awareness, introduce a new product and gather leads?
Vertical versus Horizontal Markets
Another thing to consider is whether your product or service should be presented at horizontal or vertical shows, or both.
Horizontal shows are those with vendors who are selling a broader variety of products or services, and the attendees usually come from a single market segment. They are looking for either very specific products or services or a broader variety.
Vertical shows are more narrowly focused to just one type of product and market. The advantage of vertical shows is that the attendees are all from a very specific market, and your objectives can be more focused. The disadvantage is that your product or service must fall exactly within the focus for the show or you won't get the results you want.
Shows for food only would be vertical. However, shows for services to the grocery industry or for gift basket marketers would most likely be horizontal because the attendees would be from all types of markets.
Narrowing the List
Unless you have unlimited budgets and resources, you'll need to find out which shows from your potential list are best. The key lies in finding the shows that pull in the most decision makers for your industry.
To find out who attends, ask the show management for a demographic profile of attendees. Typically, show literature will list only their numbers and general titles. Check the titles and purchasing responsibility if that information is available.
Another route is to contact past attendees. Have a list of questions ready that will tell you if they are indeed the decision makers and what value they placed on their time spent in the exhibit hall.
You can also ask non-competing exhibitors from the previous year what their impressions of the show were and whether they will be attending again. Or, if possible, go to the show as an attendee yourself so you'll know if you want to participate next year. You can get an exhibits-only pass for many shows, so you're not paying the entire fee.
You should also ask the show managers how they are promoting the show and what their strategy is for getting people to the exhibit hall. If it's a new show, promotion has to be very good to get the traffic you need to make it worthwhile.
Conference schedules are often set up so that luncheons and socials are held in the exhibit hall to ensure that attendees spend time with vendors. While it's nice to get them into the exhibits (and to your booth), food-related functions aren't always the best arenas for talking with prospects. It's difficult to handle a plate of food, a drink and your company's literature at the same time. Make sure the schedule allows for plenty of time around those events so attendees can eat and visit your booth.
Preparing for the Show
Get all the information you need to begin your preparations. The contact person for the show will provide you with basic information. Make sure you have:
Training Your Booth Staffers
One of the most important steps to take in order to have a truly successful exhibiting experience is the training of your booth staff. They account for 90 percent of the positive feelings that show attendees have about the show and your company.
Trade show attendees usually go to shows to get detailed information about products and services, so they expect your booth staff to be very knowledgeable. You want to send your most "people-oriented" representatives, as well as those who know the most about your company. Be sure that they understand exactly what your objectives are for the show.
Your staff should also be armed with information about your competition and the competitive advantage your product or service has. Finally, make sure they can emphasize the benefits of your product or service instead of simply regurgitating the product "features" list from your brochure.
A number of excellent resources can help with training trade-show staff. You can narrow down the ones in your region by conducting an Internet search on "trade-show training."
Other Preparations
When you're setting your budget, allow for personnel, accommodations, booth, handouts, promotional activities, product transportation and travel. If the trade show is outside of Canada, allow for insurance costs and plan to spend an entire day before and after the show in the host country.
Contact existing and potential customers before the show. Invite them to drop by your booth and inform them about special promotions available only at the show or new products that you're launching.
Show programs and advertising inserts in the general media or industry publications give you the opportunity to advertise in specific vehicles aimed at promoting the show and sharing costs.
It's advisable to choose professional design and marketing consultants to help you prepare the materials for your booth. These will include:
Company Literature and Giveaways
The number of brochures, giveaway items and other handouts you need to bring depends on how many people you expect to see.
Keep in mind that about 90 percent of all literature never makes it back to the attendees' offices. Perhaps it's best to train your staff to always offer to send the literature by mail to the attendee's office. Attendees often don't want to lug your marketing materials all over the exhibit hall and will jump at the chance to have you send the information to them the following week.
Prepare a system for recording leads. Several options include:
Be sure to follow up your leads after the show. This should be done immediately, and it's best to let customers know in advance when and how they can expect to be re-contacted.
In-Store Demonstrations
Demonstrations-sometimes referred to as "product samplings"-are an effective and inexpensive means of promoting a new or existing product.
There are three types of in-store demonstrations - live, mobile and static.
Live Demonstrations
At a live demonstration, a member of your staff does simple food preparation. This is best for a new product that requires information or answers to questions, or for a product that needs special preparation.
One advantage of a live demonstration is that you can encourage the customer to buy the product. A disadvantage is that a great deal of time is required for the demonstration, so costs can be high.
Mobile Demonstrations
These are a form of live demonstration, where a demonstrator walks through the store offering samples. The demonstrator usually has a base operation near the product sales display. Not all stores allow this type of demonstration.
Static Display
This is an area displaying the product and offering unattended samples. One advantage is that this type of display is very cost effective. A disadvantage is that there's no control over purchasing decisions or how much sample is used. This type of demonstration needs to have the consumer familiar with your product.
Steps in Planning Demonstrations
You can hire a demonstration company, if you wish. Consider time, energy, ease of demonstration and your budget when you make this decision. One firm that specializes in in-store demonstrations is:
In-Store Focus Inc.
Remember that demonstrations normally don't give you access to a very wide market, so they probably should be only one segment of your marketing and promotional package.
Coupons can be an effective way to increase your sales and profits. However, you should be aware of certain costs:
Most printers in Ontario can print coupons.
You need to estimate various rates to determine the effectiveness of a coupon promotion. The estimations could be based on past performance or on experiments that run coupons in one city or one part of a city. Rates include:
You can have coupons distributed in a variety of ways. Three organizations - redemption agents, clearing houses and billing agents - can help with handling coupons.
You can get detailed information about coupons in An Industry Guide to Couponing Practices. This is available from:
Food and Consumer Products of Canada
Food and Consumer Products of Canada also negotiates coupon rates with retailers on behalf of food companies.
If you would like to start a coupon program, contact:
Resolve Corporation
This company is Canada's largest provider of coupon clearing services to retailers. It offers sorting, invoicing and accounts receivable services relating to coupon redemption.
You can also contact:
A.C. Nielsen provides market research, information analysis and insights to consumer products and services industries.
Direct Mail
One way of reaching a targeted market is through direct mail. Its advantages are:
However, direct mail also has some disadvantages:
Your next step in strategic marketing is pricing.

IT consolidation for business innovation
I've been touching base with IT folks and analysts lately to get a feel for the projects people are working on these days, and the phrases that keep coming up are IT consolidation, modernization and innovation.
A senior network administrator with a national hospice care provider is working on a data center consolidation project. The C-levels are pretty keen on leveraging cloud services to outsource IT functions, but he's not convinced it will happen.
"From what I've seen, the ROI for the cloud is not there yet," he said. "When you factor in the actual costs of building it in-house vs. hosting, it's a lot cheaper to do it in-house."
So that is the back and forth under way at his company: IT consolidation — Do we do it ourselves, go with a cloud provider or take a hybrid approach?
The task ahead for IT is threefold, explains Burton Group analyst Joe Bugajski. IT needs to contract, modernize and innovate. SearchCIO.com senior writer Linda Tucci has written a series of stories with advice from CIOs on their approaches to IT innovation.
To get to the point in which IT can help the business innovate, it first has to solve an age-old problem: IT modernization, the subject of Bugajski's talk at next week's Burton Group Catalyst conference in San Diego.
And tied to modernization is consolidation. To get started, the CIO and IT will have to start talking to the business to figure out what technology, what applications and what projects are really needed — and what can go. That's where the point of innovation can begin, he explains. IT consolidation will help you free up the needed capital that will allow you to start innovating and modernizing, vs. just maintaining.
The marching orders to modernize and contract need to come from the top — meaning the board, because C-levels can come and go, he said. So I'm wondering what your marching orders are? Are you being told to consolidate, modernize or innovate, or all of the above? Email me at email@example.com.
Is mobile video conferencing worth considering in the midmarket?
You share, collaborate and inform via email, phone, instant message and more — all because face-to-face time can be difficult to pull off in our increasingly busy schedules. And while some organizations have video conferencing capabilities to bring remote workers and office dwellers together, smaller organizations may not opt for the services.
However, a rise in mobile video devices, such as the iPhone4's FaceTime and the Cisco Cius, could bring video anytime, anywhere. So how important will mobile video conferencing be to the enterprise?
On the one hand, mobile video conferencing will be a way to include traveling executives or remote workers in important meetings. On the other hand, these outward-bound employees may not always be in a private, quiet space that will allow them to fully participate.
The results of a 2009 CIMI Corp. survey of collaborative behavior showed that the number of mobile workers who believed that mobile video conferencing was helpful was less than 10%. The off-site workers did not feel they could actively participate in mobile video conferencing because of a lack of facilities, lack of network capacity to support connection and lack of privacy.
Another consideration is the potential for impromptu video conferences. Organizations with traditional conference rooms may have to plan their conferences weeks in advance. Conferences rooms with dedicated telepresence technology could book up quickly, but utilizing mobile technology on a tablet or similar device would allow users to pop into any room for a similar experience.
Plus, there is real value in being able to show someone explicitly how to do something and being able to read visual cues that could encourage communication and collaboration. Without these cues, it's difficult to know when it's appropriate to "jump in" on a voice conference.
The costs and benefits have to be weighed (and one may tip the scale in your organization), but remember: It's not just about buying these devices — you have to consider changing work patterns and other business impacts.
Think lean before you start agile projects
In the past few weeks I've been writing about agile projects, Scrum vs. waterfall or using the two project approaches together, and a theme that keeps coming up when I talk to project managers is cutting the fat.
For a software development project to be agile, Alex Keenan, an ERP analyst and agile project team member with a large grocery chain, believes waste should be pinpointed as you plan and implement any project, and, with agile, continued to be identified with each project iteration.
He points to a Forrester Research chart that compares lean methodologies used in manufacturing and their counterparts for software development.
Sources of waste in manufacturing include: overproduction, waiting (time on hand), unnecessary transport, overprocessing or incorrect processing, excess inventory, unnecessary movement, defects and unused employee creativity.
The application development equivalents, according to Forrester Research, are: too many superfluous artifacts, broken builds, too many tool transitions, rigid architectures, analysis paralysis, late discovery of defects, rising downstream labor costs, polluted supply chain management streams and measure of effort and not results.
CIO Niel Nickolaisen also lays out how to translate lean methodologies to IT projects in a recent column.
From lean methodologies, I have learned about the seven forms of waste and how to map those to IT processes:
• Rework: How many times in IT do we ask for do-overs?
• Waiting: For example, we often have to wait for the input of a subject-matter expert before we can make a decision.
• Overprocessing: Research tells us that 64% of the software features and functions we develop are rarely, if ever, used.
• Excess inventory: A recent study found that about 40% of our software licenses are shelfware.
• Excess motion: How many of our status reporting mechanisms actually generate value rather than churn?
• Excess movement: Am I the only one whose projects get caught in multiple decision loops?
• Overproduction: How many of us buy licenses in large batches, rather than just in time?
These are a few takes on applying lean methodologies to IT projects and processes. What works for you? Email me at email@example.com.
Slowly phasing out ITIL V2 Foundation, starting with certifications
Those looking to be certified in ITIL V2 Foundation have missed their chance: As of July 1, the V2 Foundation recertification is no longer offered, as the Office of Government Commerce slowly withdraws ITIL V2 in favor of ITIL V3. It's out with the old, in with the new(ish) ITIL.
According to George Spalding, an executive vice president at IT management consulting firm Pink Elephant in Rolling Meadows, Ill., more than 300,000 individuals worldwide have taken IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) exams since January 2009. While both V2 and V3 have been offered as of late, there were more people seeking V3 certification than V2. "It was time to get everyone up to speed on the same version, speaking the same language," he said.
ITIL V3, introduced in 2007, emphasizes a more business-driven, top-down approach to IT management, an approach that was expected to gain more executive support. However, ITIL V3 gained momentum slowly. In an online ITIL adoption survey from Q3 2009 of organizations (mostly from North America) with 500 employees or more, the results showed that while ITIL V3 adoption was occurring, it was happening slowly and in pieces. At the time of the survey, only 4% of respondents indicated that they were implementing V3 from scratch.
Many organizations stuck with ITIL V2 Foundation for so long because they were comfortable with it. Plus, the timing was all off: Shortly after V3 was announced in 2007, we spiraled into a recession, so new initiatives were shelved. And before that, "many organizations were still maturing their ITIL V2 strategy," Spalding said, "It can be hard to switch gears midproject and onto a new version."
What does this really mean for users, that there won't be another alternative for ITIL V2 Foundation certification? Will this affect your IT shop?
Finding an endpoint for agile projects
One of the 12 principles of agile projects is that agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely, according to the Agile Manifesto.
But project managers new to the agile approach are struggling with the concept of a project with seemingly no end.
I posed this question to several experts and was given a few straightforward answers: The project ends when you run out of funding. Another response was that it never stops. Like any other project, it is an ongoing process in which improvements and changes will constantly be made, even after it's put into production.
Given its iterative nature, however, forecasting the end of agile projects isn't so difficult.
Joseph Flahiff is a program manager with a national health insurance carrier. In charge of a $20 million HIPAA/EDI project that combines agile and waterfall approaches, he explains it this way:
You know just like any other project. If it's managed with the waterfall approach, you're probably given a scope of work: "These are the things we need you to do, and this is the goal we are trying to shoot for." When you're done with the scope of work, you are done with the project. What agile brings to [a project] is that you're delivering all along, so you can see how close you are to actually being done.
Agile projects also allow you to fix problems as they arise, as opposed to a traditional software development approach in which most components are tested at the end. It's a bottom-up development approach in which you are delivering working software all along, and you can show project sponsors how the team is burning — aka, the burndown rate — toward getting it done on schedule, done early or if you are running behind, he said.
"Then the leadership team or steering committee can actually take action and become involved, as opposed to looking at the [product] at the last minute and having a firefight," Flahiff said.
Knowing when to end agile projects is but one quandary. Another project manager would like to know how to ensure that all the development iterations come together at the end. If you have any advice, email me at email@example.com.
When should an SMB draw the line with ITIL best practices?
Where does ITIL fit in with SMBs? It seems more organizations are following ITIL best practices in their overall IT operations and service delivery — creating some form of a service catalog, practicing change management strategies and focusing on service design — but not following ITIL frameworks full circle. Is the trend of ITIL a la carte a good thing?
For example, my colleague Christina Torode recently wrote a story about SMBs and service catalogs — and how many are using ITIL best practices to build a portal or a catalog that works for their specific organization, sometimes using SharePoint and workflow processes, without following ITIL to the letter.
Has ITIL matured to the point of being mainstream, as organizations learn how to pick and choose the ITIL best practices that best suit them? In other words, are they taking what they've learned about ITIL in the past and applying it in a more palatable way?
According to Evelyn Hubbert, a senior analyst at Forrester Research Inc., many of her clients have picked the critical pieces of ITIL they need to improve efficiency and effectiveness and adopted them as ITIL best practices. However, without accurate metrics measuring where IT was before the implementation and how ITIL has improved it, it's harder to continue moving forward after the quick wins.
"[IT] cannot say where they are before they took off and don't know where they have gotten to and cannot justify the benefits," Hubbert wrote in an email. "Therefore, the effort is cut."
Further, she said, ITIL adoption in terms of service delivery (a piece many organizations fail to add) needs to continue for organizations to stay competitive moving forward — especially as technologies continue to grow and change.
"I believe that ITIL will be part of most IT organizations … by 2012," she said. "With clouds, virtual worlds, etc., the topics of service-level management, service portfolios [and] cost models will become much more critical."
So the question remains: How much ITIL is enough?
Reactions to Scrum and waterfall mix for agile projects
To quote one respondent to my last blog post on whether agile projects should mix Scrum and waterfall: "I have been on projects within the U.S. government where they tried to do both when saying they were doing Scrum, and it was a disaster."
Here is further explanation from the reader as to why Scrum and Waterfall is a bad combination:
The key issue in my opinion is that Scrum is a bottom-up communication process and that waterfall is a top-down communication process. In Scrum, the developers doing the work have their meeting, and that generates what is to be accomplished along with issues that have to be dealt with. This then rolls up to management, along with product owners, to make decisions about what will [work], what won't, and help move obstacles out of the way. Waterfall is all about leadership telling everyone what they need accomplished, and meetings start at the top and come down. So issues in the trenches take longer to get back up, and it is more about low- and midlevel managers protecting themselves and driving the end workers to get things accomplished, then about figuring out what can be accomplished and passing that back up.
On the flip side, one project manager created what he calls the "Envelope Method," which folds agile practices into waterfall, but he freely admits that it will shake up your organization. (Listen to a presentation that he gave on integrating agile into a Waterfall world during a recent Project Management Institute San Diego chapter event.)
Then there is the opinion that waterfall makes sense for certain kinds of projects, and Scrum others, as one reader explains:
Using the NASA cone of uncertainty, where uncertainty is high and learning must take place, a fail-fast approach is required, Scrum is put in for these parts. Where little or no uncertainty exists such as buying a completely set-up PC from Dell, waterfall can be used.
It all comes down to uncertainty due to:
- Rate of change.
- Complexity, both individual and overall.
- Interrelationships and dependencies.
- Lack of understanding how X provides value to [the] organization.
- [The] need to build individual and team competence to obtain individual and team confidence.
I will be following up with many of the people that emailed me. Some have traditionally used waterfall project methods but are trying to adopt/adapt some agile project practices into the requirements, development and testing phases.
I'll be posting an update after these conversations to share what I learn about agile projects and the practice of mixing Scrum and waterfall.
Mixing and matching Scrum and Waterfall for agile project development
I talked to a few CIOs recently who were using Scrum and Waterfall for agile project development. One was using a combination of the two to develop a portal and services for emergency room physicians.
But if you talk to some agile purists, they balk at the idea of using the two project development approaches together. At their basic premises, agile and Waterfall fight against one another: Waterfall deals with change by resisting it; while agile, and in particular Scrum, embraces change, according to Elena Mitelman, principal of agile consulting firm Smart Edge LLC.
To give a broader scope of Waterfall vs. agile approaches such as Scrum, here's Mitelman's take on both:
Used since mid-late 1990s.
Term formally coined in 2001 by Agile Manifesto.
Likens software development to lab research.
Welcomes change.
Still iterative, but iterations are unlike prior models.
Very light on documentation.
Manages risk between and within iterations.
Encourages risk-taking and exploration.
Keeps costs down by implementing only what's required at this time, keeping things simple.
Chaotic, yet controlled.
Has been proven on many projects.
Not without implementation challenges.
Used since 1970s.
Assumes software development is similar to manufacturing and construction.
Sequentially flows from specifications through maintenance.
Deals with change by resisting it – cost of change goes up as project progresses.
Documentation-heavy process to prevent change.
In a perfect world, a simple and cost-efficient process.
But the world is not perfect…
And in the end, she is obviously a Scrum vs. Waterfall fan. Her reasons for evangelizing Scrum: It doesn't prescribe to any specific engineering practices; it focuses on interactions between people; unlike Extreme Programming, or XP, it doesn't require that you follow a number of set practices; and it is not specific to software development.
"[Scrum] can be used for any project, including launching a product, starting a company, etc.," she said.
I'd like to hear from you if you are mixing and matching approaches, and how it's working out for you, or if you think a Scrum and Waterfall combo leads to project failure. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
New England GiveCamp: One NERD and multiple IT project success stories
A lot of projects fail. If business requirements aren't clear or gathered effectively, or if the scope of the project is inaccurate, failure happens. But this past weekend, at New England GiveCamp (a Microsoft-sponsored volunteer weekend held at New England Research & Development Center — or NERD), it was refreshing to see some IT project success stories.
So, does it take a NERD to bring business and IT together effectively? Nonprofits without the time, budget or technical expertise necessary for application development projects or website overhauls rendezvoused with tech volunteers assigned to their projects, on a mission to make some big changes in a short amount of time.
It was the ultimate interface between IT and the business — and, as such, not without its challenges. In a lot of cases, those on both sides of the table initially struggled with the requirements portion of the IT projects. The business side was trying to describe what it wanted or needed, or even what was possible. The technical side was trying to translate these business requirements into something that makes sense and is totally workable in a 48-hour time frame.
Yes, some of the goals for IT project success were lofty — from brand-new website designs to customized desktop applications — but, amazingly, all were practically finished (I say practically because there were a few projects that still needed some fine-tuning or visual tweaks) by the end of the weekend.
How can this be?, I thought. It takes other companies, large and small, weeks, months, sometimes years to get an IT project completed. How can you get something up and running in just a few days?
The budget was limited (in most cases, nonexistent), the timeline was tight and there was a technical language barrier. However, there were no political barriers, approval processes, instances of organizational pushback or creative constraints. There were also a number of Scrum masters on hand — "an invaluable asset," according to one volunteer, because they helped the groups set and follow tasks.
Interestingly, when all was said and done, there weren't two sides of the table anymore. Working closely toward a common goal brought together each group, tech savvy or otherwise, and provided an excellent roadmap for IT project success.
When it comes to an agile model, failure is an option
It's OK to fail when taking an agile approach to a business service or software development project, but if you fail, fail fast.
As one expert explained to me, if you don't fail, you don't really uncover the true nature of the problem trying to be resolved, or what works and doesn't work.
"'Success is counted sweetest. By those who ne'er succeed,' to quote Emily Dickinson," said Ross Pettit, client principal at Chicago-based ThoughtWorks Inc. "You don't want to be Wile E.Coyote, but you want to be in a situation in which you try and fail, because the more often you do that, the more you learn about the problem in front of you."
He has seen too many agile projects fall apart because IT is afraid to fail. What ends up happening is failure on a larger scale; the project never crosses the finish line.
The iterative nature of the agile model allows for failures. Many agile projects are chunked out in weeks, so when something doesn't work one week, you pick up the pieces, and apply what you learned to the next phase of the project.
Having project facilitators is critical to picking up the pieces quickly. This could be the CEO, the CIO, or a head of a department. Facilitators are the ones that the project team can turn to and say, "Here's what we need access to, here's the person we need to talk to, here's the people we need to work on this problem." "This allows stakeholders to make the resources available for what need to be done, immediately," he said.
And if you are a stakeholder, don't assume that you know what agile means. An agile model involves terms like velocity and iterations. A common word used by Pettit is story or an epic story to describe an agile project. All of these are common terms, but in the agile word they have a different meaning.
An epic story is the ultimate solution you want to achieve. So each release phase of the project tells part of the epic story, and is repeatedly compared with the theme of that story to make sure the project sticks to an agreed-upon plot.
"Just remember that very familiar terms are used in agile, so don't understand them too quickly," he said.
And don't fall into the trap of viewing an agile model as one prescriptive approach that needs to be followed as if law. An agile approach is a living and breathing project that changes, otherwise it wouldn't be called agile, points out Elena Mitelman, principal with agile consulting firm SmartEdge LLC.
She offers this other takeaway:
Using another process (waterfall, RUP, etc.) and calling it agile is a common mistake. It's important to actually do it, rather than just slap a new name on an existing process.

The demise of the redevelopment agency as part of Gov. Jerry Brown's solution to plug years of overspending by Sacramento deprived local governments such as Manteca of a viable tool to spur economic development.
You have $100,000 and you need to give it away.
Thieves are now trying to steal grass.
Last week it was home to more than half-a-dozen people who had turned it into a makeshift camp.
Twenty years ago Spreckels Sugar - which was intertwined with Manteca's prosperity and history for 75 years - fell victim to changing sugar beet economics and tougher California air quality rules.
For nearly two decades he escaped justice.
A nearly 700-square foot electronic billboard that needs the final blessing of Caltrans to go up in front of The Promenade Shops at Orchard Valley won't create a traffic hazard.
Lunch break play by four high school students Wednesday didn't bode well with police after nine officers responded to a 911 caller fearing the worst when they spotted four students – two boys and two girls – riding in separate vehicles brandishing what appeared to be deadly weapons.
Kathy Howe is the cat's meow as far as admirers in the Lathrop School preschool class are concerned.
Modesto Junior College Hall of Fame member and former Manteca High player Paul Wiggin has been selected as a 2016 inductee into the California Community College Sports Hall of Fame by the California Community College Athletic Association.
The Manteca Redevelopment Agency's first big thing took a shuttered 362-acre sugar beet processing plant site and converted it into the economic juggernaut known as Spreckels Park.
If you're a Lathrop resident and you were holding out hope for the annual community Easter egg hunt once again taking place, you're out of luck.
Sure Sierra High School would love to have an artificial turf football field and an all-weather track.
On the same day a state survey showed the critical Sierra snowpack has deteriorated to just 83 percent of average, the Manteca City Council voted to step up water conservation efforts.

Apr 21, 2015F-R-E-S-H. Laid back and uplifting, Sandman's astute lyrics are a pleasure aiming well off the beaten path of rap megalomania which appears to abound these days. A refrained sound that provides a lot of thump. 'Not Really' being one of a number of attention grabbing tracks that provoke thought and a little solitude on this excellent album.
MojoDec 17, 2012The law school drop-pout is at his analytical best here. [Jan 2013, p.93]
Nov 9, 2012Between speed of delivery and brevity of line, Sandman's nonstop tunefulness here tends jingly no matter how gritty his flow.
Oct 25, 2012The outcome is impressive, and throughout he remains true to himself and his esoteric style.

Xerox Cut GHG Emissions 21% Since 2002
Xerox Corp. released its 2008 Report on Global Citizenship, and announced that it has achieved a 21 percent worldwide reduction in GHG emissions since 2002. The company says it's well on the way to achieving a 25 percent reduction in GHG emissions by 2012.
Between 2002 and 2007, the company reported a 19 percent reduction in energy consumption. Eighty percent of its new products introduced in 2007 meet the EPA's Energy Star requirements.
Xerox has earned chain-of-custody certification from both the Forest Stewardship Council and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification. In addition, the company says about 90 percent of Xerox paper suppliers meet these guidelines and that it is working to achieve 100 percent.
In September, Xerox announced it was offering more green paper choices. The company has also joined the Eco-Patent Commons, pledging environmentally-beneficial patents to the public domain.
In March, the company launched a sustainability calculator that measures the overall impact a company's printers and copiers have on the environment.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 9/30/14
It was less than a month ago when SHR co-owner/driver Tony Stewart seemed to be in deep trouble. Heading into the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway over Memorial Day weekend, Stewart was riding a streak of 10 races in row where he hadn't finished better than 15th. Worse yet, he was mired in 21st place in the points, not at all where the three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion expected to be. But with his fifth-place run in Sunday's Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway, Stewart earned his third consecutive top-five finish. And in the last four races starting with Charlotte, Stewart has one race victory, three top fives and an average finish of 4.25. More importantly, he's climbed all the way to 10th in points. Clearly, performance is trending in the right direction for Stewart. Stewart's teammates had decent runs at Michigan, too. Danica Patrick finished 13th, her best run since coming home 12th at Martinsville in the spring, and Ryan Newman had a stron...

East Jersey Trout Unlimited (EJTU) is a community of more than 700 anglers in the greater northeastern New Jersey region who are dedicated to cold water conservation and the stewardship of our local watersheds. Our members work to protect, reconnect, restore and sustain trout habitat for anglers today and for the next generations of sportsmen and women who value the relationship between clean, healthy waterways and sustainable fishing.
As a grass-roots organization, EJTU is primarily engaged in a number of conservation initiatives and restoration projects on our local rivers. But our chapter is also involved in educational outreach and regular coordination with state and local authorities, as well as many other regional environmental organizations to assist in a wide range of conservation efforts.
Join us today! In addition to a commitment to conservation, our members also benefit from the company and friendship of like-minded anglers. Our chapter holds monthly meetings and hosts regular fishing trips and gatherings where novice and accomplished anglers alike come together to share their knowledge and learn best practices for fishing cold, clean and sustainable waters.
If you are a new member, please visit our New Member Page to learn more about our chapter.
