Why Big IT Projects Fail

by corlin on 四.13, 2009, under 快乐工作, 电信业务

Our experience with more than 75 large projects suggests that success is closely tied to five “Execution Planning” steps:

Start with the steering committee. If there aren’t two or three sponsoring executives who choose to own a critical initiative within the business, don’t even start the initiative. Successful steering committees are primarily responsible for naming the members of the core project team, approving plans and providing strategic guidance to the core project team.

Establish the core project team. Successful core project teams include no more than four to six individuals who are responsible for making 80 percent of project decisions; building “straw models” and soliciting input/buy-in from other stakeholders (on issues such as master project timelines); aligning their sub-team leads to the master project timeline; holding sub-teams’ leads accountable for execution of the master project timeline; and escalating and resolving key project issues that may impede progress.

Establish sub-teams. Successful sub-team leads are responsible for developing and executing detailed plans (on schedule, budget and scope) in line with the master project timeline; recommending technical approaches and documenting them as required; and raising issues to sub-team peers and/or the core project team as necessary.

Define roles and responsibilities. Build a one-page graphical document that clearly defines objectives for all project members (in particular the core project team and sub-team leads). Successful large projects have core project teams that remove ambiguity of roles and responsibilities for both the sub-team leads and the core project team itself.

Build a one-page master project timeline. Successful core project teams publish a one-page graphical representation of the timeline for the project as a whole. These master project timelines have key “anchor dates” against which all sub-team leads are responsible for developing and executing detailed plans. This thinking differs from classical IT planning approaches.

Traditional project approaches start from the bottom up, with work-breakdown structures and task-level detail that roll into a detailed master project timeline. Our experience suggests that successful large projects start with key top-down anchor dates set forth from the core project team.

Effective IT strategy execution using these five steps overcomes the large project issues referenced earlier.

北京最值得逛的50个地方

by corlin on 三.12, 2009, under 生活是美好的

50个精彩去处之一:左右间设计+咖啡的院翰若居书馆

著名年轻建筑设计师王晖在古迹圆明园东门外开的这家咖啡馆,,当数北京城最具灵感的地角。光线同时洒在三角形的镜面做成的咖啡桌上、洒在镜面做成的吧台 上、洒在组成吧台的数千册混砌的书墙的结构上,又被这些材料反射出去,形成更多的光的通道,晶莹地将空间充满,实实在在地充满。桌椅的影子、人的影子、窗 影与树影浅浅地被表现出来,就像一组空间的画和时间糅在一起,却又要让人忘了时间。

地址:海淀区圆明园东门内停车场北二间院

新北京50个精彩去处之二:文宇奶酪店

“文宇奶酪店”位于北京市东城区南锣鼓巷内,是一家经营奶酪和酸梅汤的小店,小店开业以来,因为物美价廉风味地道而生意越来越红火。虽然酒香不怕巷子 深,更何况南锣鼓巷北口在鼓楼东大街上,南口在平安大街上,是京城比较著名的一条胡同。这里的“奶酪”是地道的老北京风味小吃。由于文宇的主人是三元梅园 的老师傅,所以味道最厚、最正的就数文宇奶酪店。店里自己熬的“冰镇酸梅汤”酸甜适宜,消暑解渴。

地址:西城区南锣鼓巷49号

10 point checklist to evaluate mobile interaction design

by corlin on 二.24, 2009, under 默认分类

A design solution can be critically evaluated by asking the following set of questions:

  1. Does the application allow fulfilling the main user tasks efficiently?

  2. Is the navigation model clear and intuitive and consistent?

  3. Is information and content presented clearly?

  4. Is the language and terminology familiar to the user and used consistently throughout the application?

  5. Are controls used consistently within the application and in relation to the platform style?

  6. Does the application provide relevant feedback to the user?

  7. Is information entry made as easy as possible?

  8. Does the application guide the user and provide help if necessary?

  9. Does the application cope well with error situations: are they easy to understand and can the user recover easily?

  10. Is the design simple and desirable – does it include everything necessary but nothing extraneous?
