Materials used to increase the probability of project success in the presence of uncertainty, with Capabilities needed for a defined cost on a defined date.
- Briefings, Papers, and Presentations are publications developed for clients, journals, books, and book chapters and briefings for government agencies.
- A Combined Compendium of resources for Increasing the Probability of Success for Complex System of Systems by Integrating Systems Engineering, Agile Project Management, and Program Performance Management
Compendiums of resources used in the management of Complex Software-Intensive Systems of Systems developed for a wide variety of business and technical domains.
- Compendium of Resources for Good Project Management - Anecdotes abound of examples of Bad Project Management. Sometimes these anecdotes are used to suggest a corrective or preventive action that might actually work. Other times these suggestions are simply bogus.
- Compendium of Resources for Agile Project Management and Earned Value Management - addresses the notion that Agile and Earned Value Management or any other formal program planning and controls process are incompatible.
- Compendium of Resources for Digital Twins, Model-Based Systems Engineering, and Integrated Performance Management - It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones. ‒ Prince Niccolò Machiavelli
- Compendium of Resources for Design Structure Matrix - a technique supporting the management of complexity by focusing attention on the elements of a complex system and how they relate to each other.
- Compendium of Resources for Integrated Master Plan / Integrated Master Schedule - The Integrated Master Plan tells us what Done looks like in increasing the maturity of the deliverable Capabilities. The Integrated Master Schedule tells us the work to be performed to produce the increased maturity of the program's Capabilities.
- Compendium of Resources of Capabilities Based Planning - Over the years, the success rate of traditional project management methods applied to software development projects has been underwhelming. Capabilities–Based planning provides a defined outcome that is not a conclusion but lays the groundwork for the continued delivery of value. Objectives are reached and the operational value is delivered when a defined capability is available for use.
- Compendium of Estimating Resources - any credible decision made while spending other people's money requires making an estimate of the impact of that decision on the probability of success. Here are resources used to estimate software-intensive systems and their related hardware and work processes when applying traditional and agile product development methods.
- A Compendium of Resources for Managing Complex Systems - papers, books, and resource websites for managing complex engineering projects.
- Compendium of Resources of Mathematics for Project Management - dedicated to the resources of the mathematics needed to successfully manage software-intensive systems and their related hardware and work processes when applying traditional and agile product development methods.
- Cybersecurity Resources for Federal and Commercial Systems - here's a collection of cybersecurity resources for Federal and commercial IT.
- Compendium Risk Management Resources - all risk comes from uncertainty. Uncertainty comes in only two forms - Epistemic and Aleatory. Here are resources used to assess risks, their impacts, and handling strategies for software-intensive systems using traditional and agile development methods.
- Compendium of Root Cause Analysis Resources - Without finding the Root Cause of dysfunction, the conditions and actions that created that cause, and defining the corrective and preventive actions to remove, protect, or isolate the system from those causes - No suggested fix can be credible.
- Cone of Uncertainty - The Cone of Uncertainty is a useful approach to defining the expected range of uncertainty at specific stages in a project.
- A Short Summary of #No Estimates Posts - in 1994 the claim was made decisions can be made without estimates, which in principle is a fallacy, and in practice is not the choice of those spending, but the choice of those paying.
- Compendium of All #NoEstimates posts - all the #Noestimates posts from Herding Cats.
