Staff motivation occurs because of what you Do For employees.The Motivation SecretRead the next sentence very carefully. Staff motivation is a consequence. That reality is rarely mentioned. Motivation occurs as a result of something else. Issues such as rewards and incentives, recognition, job satisfaction, inspirational leadership and the rest are details that reinforce the consequences. They are important details: but details nevertheless.A Staff Contribution CultureTo develop highly motivated staff, you need to create a particular culture: a culture of staff contribution and participation. Only a manager can do this. Such a culture enables staff to contribute demonstrably to business success.Until you establish this culture, you’ll never be free to manage successfully. You’ll always be doing work that your staff should do.When staff become successful contributors you can use rewards and incentives, and various other recognition devices to support their successful contribution. But these devices of themselves won’t create highly motivated staff. You must create the culture to take full advantage of them.Once you establish the culture of contribution and participation you can take the next step: establish a culture of staff autonomy. A culture where staff are given freedom to operate without supervision.Famous Brazilian manager, Ricardo Semler puts it this way. “As a leader my job is to motivate them to go home proud of their work.”A New PerspectiveDo you want highly motivated employees? If so, what can you do to make them “proud of their work”. I mean “proud”: not boastful or conceited but proud in the sense that they know they’ve done well for themselves, their colleagues and the business.Forget “Pep” TalksStaff don’t need pep talks, speeches and “rev ups”. They need guidance, information, encouragement, support, autonomy, responsibility, clear goals and the freedom to achieve and contribute positively to the business.Studying MotivationGurus and academics have been studying “motivation” for decades. In 1932 a famous study commenced at the Hawthorne works of the Western Electric Company. The results are still discussed today.Maslow, McGregor and HerzbergIn 1943 Abraham Maslow, proposed the Hierarchy of Needs. He suggested that human needs ranged from survival needs such as food and shelter as a foundation to “self-actualization” as the highest form. It’s been widely applied in corporate motivation applications.In the 1960′s Douglas McGregor of the MIT Sloan School of Management proposed that employees reacted to how managers perceived them. It became known as Theory X, Theory Y.Frederick Herzberg published “One More Time, How Do You Motivate Employees?” in 1968. He suggested people are influenced by what he called motivation factors and hygiene factors. It became known as Two Factor Theory. Herzberg became a very influential person in business management.There are many other theories and approaches. Studies continue. Gurus make new recommendations frequently. The jury is still “out”. But studying “employee motivation” isn’t new.The Issue Is “How”These studies and many like them suggest alternatives to the “to them” approach. The problem is “how”. Most attempts to motivate staff are behaviour based. It’s one thing to talk about employee engagement, empowerment and participation. It’s another to determine “how” to create it.The Motivation Mindset QuestionLike so many other issues in management, motivation is a mindset. At the core of this mindset is the question. “What can I do for my staff so that they’re proud of their work and their contribution to improvements to my business? What can I do to ensure that they see themselves as major contributors to business success?”Giving To” v. “Doing For”It’s a simple process. It revolves around two simple questions. “What do I want from them?” “What do I need to give them so that they can give me what I want?” There’s no “oughta” here. Don’t say “they oughta be motivated because of what I offer them.” That won’t motivate anybody.Commonality With MarketingSteve Jobs is regarded as an outstanding marketer. But he didn’t undertake customer surveys. He tried to anticipate what clients expected and provide it for them. Most people have forgotten that Jobs and Steve Wozniak started Apple to design a home computer. There was no demand for such a machine at the time. We all know where that led them… and the rest of the world “What can I provide?” is a very important question in both motivation and marketing.Misled By MaximsYou’ll never create highly motivated employees by rattling off maxims like “Good training doesn’t cost, it pays”, “Staff are our most important asset”, “We cannot succeed without good people”, “Our people are our lifeblood”. These are nothing more than trite slogans. They may or may not be true. They are no substitute for actually achieving improved business results through superior staff management.A Core Business IssueMotivation is a business improvement and sustainability issue. Without “highly motivated” staff, you can’t have a truly successful business. But that means that motivation is more than “just a people matter”. It’s a core business issue.Challenges To Conventional WisdomThe Do For approach challenges many conventional wisdom about staff performance. Please remember…<br />Unless you’re a qualified psychologist, don’t try to “get inside their heads”: seek to “engineer” performance rather than coerce and manipulate employees<br />Employees take far more notice of what you do than what you say: “showing” will always work far more effectively than “telling”<br />You need effective teams more than you need effective individuals<br />Employees do not have to relate well to each other in order to work together effectively<br />Training, of itself, will not improve performance. Training is essential. But well trained staff don’t automatically lead to high performing staff<br />Staff need to be well informed about business issues. Lack of information stifles enthusiasm about effective performanceThe Essential Do For 1. Have a clear business focus and a narrow, specific target market. Employees must know exactly what you’re trying to sell and who you’re trying to sell to.2. Make very clear to employees the precise performance goals you expect them to achieve and how you’ll measure their success.3. Establish systems that will virtually guarantee that staff will be able to reach the performance goals. Give employees the authority and autonomy to modify the systems to achieve the goals.4. Provide the resources necessary to build effective systems.5. Build effective feedback mechanisms into your systems so that employees will be able to measure their own performance and provide you with the information you need for business management purposes.6. Work towards an overall system that enables employees to effectively operate the business on a day to day basis without your intervention except in very unusual circumstances.Rewards And IncentivesYour rewards and incentive systems cannot be effective unless they support your “Do Fors”. The “Do Fors” constitute the basis upon which to set rewards and incentives. But without the systems your rewards and incentives will merely be window dressing at best and demotivating at worst.Demotivation By IncentiveA client consulted me about an incentive scheme that wasn’t producing the expected positive results. It was a generous scheme. I discovered that to earn the incentive, the workers concerned had to work at such a furious pace that<br />they made major demands on their co-workers’ co-operation,<br />they were forced to work in conditions so uncomfortable that it was painful to stand up straight at the end of the shift.I see similar problems where the same salespeople repeatedly win sales prizes, largely because their territory contains predominantly long-standing, loyal and supportive customers.The Contribution Culture PerspectiveThe Do For approach makes a clear link between staff motivation and business results. The purpose of having highly motivated staff is to produce better business results. This connection must be clear to both managers and staff.This means that as manager, you need to see your business differently.Your staff are effectively you business partners<br />Utilizing the skills, insights, experience and opinions of your staff will create greater business success<br />If you want to fully utilize staff insights you must keep them fully informed<br />You need systems that encourage staff to make suggestions, offer opinions and develop appropriate skills and systems for you to consider<br />Your job is to determine business focus and target market, set performance goals and standards and let staff “get on with” meeting goals<br />You may need to change the organization structure and responsibilities in your business to make the Do For approach work for you<br /> Do For requires an ongoing commitment to less formal management control and more staff responsibility and control. It’s not a temporary measure to meet an emergency.The Employee PerspectiveWhen you practice Do For motivation, you’ll create a workforce that<br /> readily offers their opinions and insights<br />expects to share the benefits of business success<br />values their role because of their enhanced contribution<br />requires greater freedom to act autonomously and independently<br />has high expectations of the performance of their co-workers<br />may need some mentoring and advice as they learn to develop themselves.Above all, they’ll be far more committed to their own effectiveness and business success. They’ll be “highly motivated”.ConclusionPlease allow me to remind you of what Ricardo Semler said. “As a leader my job is to motivate them to go home proud of their work.” Semler is an extraordinarily successful business manager. We should take notice of what he says. </p><div class="mads-block"></div>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://evohmms.info/staff-motivation-creating-a-do-for-culture,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Purchase Kids Toys Carefully</title> <link>https://evohmms.info/purchase-kids-toys-carefully,html</link> <comments>https://evohmms.info/purchase-kids-toys-carefully,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 01 Apr 2023 18:18:59 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Toys]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://evohmms.info/?p=67</guid> <description><![CDATA[Can you separate kids from toys?

These can be adoption, prenuptial agreements, marriage, divorce, separation, legal separation, annulment, alimony, division of the property accumulated during the marriage, domestic violence, negotiation, adjudication, child custody and support, child abduction, kidnapping or child seizure, emancipation, abuse in the marriage, parental rights, paternity, juvenile, felonies, and many such cases related to family.Family law courts also deal with regular cases relating to criminal laws, property related laws, probation law, trusts, and so on. However, the majority of the cases that come to family law courts are the divorce, separation, abuse or child custody cases. A number of details need to be considered when it comes to these cases. Family law courts are specialized in all the legalities involved in such cases.As you can imagine, family law courts are some of the most crowded courts in America. They deal with social and economic issues so universal that the courts can hardly bear the brunt of the demand. As a result, family courts are notoriously underfunded. Economically disadvantaged people often get left by the wayside when trying to gain monetary compensation for just cause.Family law courts are the subject of much criticism as well for prejudice. Many think one gender or the other is favored in family courts. This may or may not be the case, but it might be impossible to study, since the numbers are so great. Until then, the family courts are a necessary aspect to a society in which people can treat each other unfairly sometimes. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://evohmms.info/family-law-courts,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Changing Face of the New Hotel General Manager</title> <link>https://evohmms.info/changing-face-of-the-new-hotel-general-manager,html</link> <comments>https://evohmms.info/changing-face-of-the-new-hotel-general-manager,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2023 21:13:43 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[management]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://evohmms.info/?p=63</guid> <description><![CDATA[In the olden days, the General Manager was the friendliest face you saw when checking into a hotel.

The host supreme, he was entrusted with the task of interfacing with the guests and making them feel at home. He accommodated your wishes, catered to your demands, and made troubles vanish into thin air. A competent General Manager was worth his weight in gold, and made all the difference between a good and great stay at a hotel!Today, however, the genial General Manager is fast transforming into a power tool that takes care of various responsibilities, sometimes simultaneously. Gone are the days when he would stand in deference in the hotel lobby. This Jack-of-all-trades now has his fingers deeply and firmly embedded in not one but many pies and is adept at juggling his many roles with a quiet exterior and charming panache.So what exactly does the new age General Manager do? The short answer to that is ‘Almost everything!’It’s true. From tasting food and ensuring top-notch room service to assuming a leadership role and guiding the team towards the company’s goal, the General Manager’s responsibilities are varied in nature and not restricted to any one division of the hotel.Here’s a more detailed description of what is expected of a General Manager. In addition to overseeing day-to-day options, he’s in charge of…</p><p>Building a vibrant organization</p><p>Creating a distinctive work environment</p><p>Establishing priorities and setting the goals of the company</p><p>Spearheading innovative and strategic thinking</p><p>Managing human resources and mapping their productivity</p><p>Driving the team towards success by setting a personal example</p><p>Maintaining the highest standards across all operations<br />There’s no denying that a General Manager has a lot on his plate. Each responsibility has to be executed with perfection and mistakes are not tolerated kindly in the hospitality industry. Accustomed to fighting fires every day, the General Manager goes around troubleshooting a wide range of problems without batting an eyelid. Safe to say, this job is not everyone’s cup of tea.What characteristics are desirable in a General Manager?The General Manager is one of the most respectable, demanding, and exacting positions in the industry. Not everybody can do justice to this role. It takes a person with considerable ingenuity to step into those shoes. Here are some of the traits you should look for in a prospective General Manager.The Ability to Multi-taskThis one makes it to the top of my list for obvious reasons. The typical workday of a General Manager is extremely complex since they are required to oversee so many things and. With equal alertness and perspicacity, they have to supervise guest relations, housekeeping, front desk, finances, F&B set up, compliance, employee evaluation, and any events that may be happening in the hotel. Unless he has excellent time management skills and organizational talents, a General Manager will never be able to rise up to the occasion and keep things together.Professional TroubleshootingMost people who land up at a hotel for a lazy getaway are completely oblivious of the chaos playing out behind the scenes. All they see is a haven of peace, luxury, and indulgence functioning like well-oiled machinery, while attends rush to fulfill any wish or demand they may have.All this is possible, in large part, to the General Manager and his common sense, quick thinking, and the creative and practical solutions he comes up with for every day problems that crop up. Anything that can go wrong does go wrong, and it’s the General Manager’s decisiveness that allows him to avert disasters and keep things working like clockwork in the hotel.Adaptability & the Desire to LearnThe hospitality sector is one of the fastest evolving sectors in the world. Technology, policies, government legislation, and local politics all contribute towards the changing of times, and it falls upon the General Manager to foresee these changes and prepare for them.In my experience, the best General Managers are those who welcome the new. Instead of being frightened, they’re curious about the developments taking place in the industry. They’re well-informed and, despite their hectic schedule, they find a way to stay abreast of industry news and trends. By doing so, they ensure that no latest innovation gets by them. They apply their knowledge to work so that their hotel moves with the times and adapts continually.Teaching & MentoringWe’ve already established that a General Manager should constantly be amassing knowledge related to the industry and his position. But it’s also important that he passes on what he’s learned to his team, so that they’re equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to work efficiently and independently. Few things are more frustrating and draining for him than to micromanage all the tasks that fall in his lap. For the hotel to function optimally, the staff has to display initiative. This can only happen if they’ve been mentored properly and taught how to be resourceful and quick-witted.Like I mentioned earlier, a good General Manager is a valuable asset to any hotel and selecting the right one is no mean task. Given the complex nature of the position, I would always recommend that you ‘grow’ your own executives. This allows you to select from within the ranks and prepare somebody who’s familiar with the working of your hotel for the managerial role.However, that may not always be possible, and you may have to fall back on traditional ways of searching for someone competent to take over the role of a General Manager.When doing so, keep the following best practices in mind:</p><p>Always bring in someone who knows the business, the industry, and the people involved. Unless you’ve got a very small establishment, the General Manager will not be able to learn everything fast enough to carry out his responsibilities competently.</p><p>Look beyond the management training courses, seminars, or workshops the candidate may mention on his resume. In my experience, these programs tend to emphasize too much on the importance of formal quantitative tools, which, though relevant, are hardly integral to the job at hand.</p><p>Scan the potential candidate for the qualities we talked about earlier. They’re just as important as the qualifications and experience the prospect brings to the table.</p><p>Finally, when you find the right candidate and welcome him onboard, allow him /her at least three to six months to collect information, build a network, establish relationships, and set the direction for the team. Do not assign pet projects or specific tasks in this duration. It will be counterproductive and divert attention from his main goals of driving the team to success.A good General Manager is integral to the smooth functioning of a hotel. He works behind the scene to offer a pleasant and hassle-free experience to guests and patrons. On his discretion stands the reputation of the hotel and on his efficiency depends all other divisions. So make sure you invest time and effort in selecting the right candidate for the job, for he’s the one who will lead the establishment to its ultimate vision. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://evohmms.info/changing-face-of-the-new-hotel-general-manager,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Home Spa and Body’s Adaptation.

The more the faster the better?The word “SPA” can be translated from a Latin abbreviation for :S – salud, P- per, A-aqua, or “Health Through Water”.You are “Your Home Spa Owner” and so should be a bit professional in spa products and their use (methods, frequency, intensity etc) to obtain Health Through Water.Today ” You as a Home spa owner” have a “You as a client” at your Spa Home bath. Do ‘You-owner” wish “You-client” better health and well-being? Yes. Do “You-owner” want to have a long-term valued customer “You-client” at your Home Spa? Yes.How many procedures would you apply to “You-client” today? The more the better? How many baths per week would you recommend “You-client” at home: 1,2,3 and why?”Do I need to know this ?” you might ask. In our busy information age it could be a good advantage to have some basic knowledge about your body’s adaptation, stress definition and how your body responds to external loads to understand what you are doing, why and what results you can expect.Being able to know when to begin and stop any activity and make a smart decision is an useful skill.There are three main definitions in the body’s adaptation theory:Homeostasis – a tendency of the body to maintain its internal balance.<br />Stressor- any activity (physical, mental and emotional) applied to the body to change this balance (homeostasis).Adaptation- change or adjustment of the body’s functions to the needs required by activity.Running, walking, swimming, bathing, sunbathing, bicycling etc. are examples of physical stressors.Stressors load our body with activity (or external stimulation). Activity in sufficient quantity for your body’s condition will positively move the body away from its homeostasis. This activity leads to the body’s response and adjustment of the body’s functions to create positive health and well-being changes (so-called positive adaptation).When the activity level is suitable for your body this activity can be named positive. Such an activity improves your health and well-being through positive adaptation. When the activity level is more than you can adjust this activity can be named negative.The more is not always the better!There are two types of external influences – smart influence and hard influence.Smart influence (smart amount, smart dose, smart signal) triggers (stimulates, activates) mild positive beneficial body’s reactions without overstressing the body.Hard influence suppresses positive body’s responses and results in body’s defense and overstraining.Have a good and smart Home Spa bath!Oleg MoskvineTonus World Inc.http://www.tonusworld.com© 2001-2004 Tonus World Inc., All Rights Reserved </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://evohmms.info/home-spa-and-bodys-adaptation-the-more-the-better,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>The 4 Influences of the Mind Body Spirit Business and Life</title> <link>https://evohmms.info/the-4-influences-of-the-mind-body-spirit-business-and-life,html</link> <comments>https://evohmms.info/the-4-influences-of-the-mind-body-spirit-business-and-life,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2023 17:07:54 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mind Body Spirit]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://evohmms.info/?p=59</guid> <description><![CDATA[I have been influenced in many things in my life.

I am a life long learner, and I always have been. Reading is one of my favorite past times, and I like to read the classics.Universal human truth and the laws of physics are important to me because I want to understand how we are all connected to one another. These truths are applicable to all regardless of what you believe. When you operate within these laws, it changes your life, and you reap the benefits of your efforts.Although I have had many influences, including my children, these four things are some of the most important influences I have had.1. JesusThese days, if you say Jesus, many automatically think of Christianity, and let’s face it, Christians really leave a bad taste in your mouth. The biggest reason is they aren’t teaching what the Bible really says.Jesus was well liked by the common people. The problems he had came from his interactions with the religious leaders of the day. Jesus’s main teaching was love. Jesus said,Matthew 22:36-40King James Version (KJV)36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.38 This is the first and great commandment.39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.Now, whether you believe in Jesus or not really isn’t my business. What is important here is that we all love, and we can only love others as much as we love ourselves. Self love is crucial here. Relationship. Jesus isn’t about religion. Jesus is about relationship, and this relationship is expressed through love. To love and be loved is a desire we all share.2. ZenAlthough there are many principles within Zen that you can apply to your life, there are three it is important to know. First, you already have everything you need you need inside of you to do whatever it is you are here for and want to with your life. In the words of Lao Tzu, “Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”Second, “Before enlightenment, chop wood carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood carry water.” Even after you have determined what you want out of life and why you are here, you still have to do the work. With or without enlightenment, work and action are a necessary part of life and are required in order for us to achieve success.The third part is understanding. In the Dao De Jing, it says, “It is wisdom to know others; It is enlightenment to know one’s self.” Once again, it is about relationship. No matter how enlightened you are, the real test comes within your relationships.When you apply these three teachings to the teachings of Jesus you discover that you have all the resources you need to do what you want to do, do the work, and always remember that at the core of everything is relationship. Everything in the universe is in relationship to everything else, and it is all connected.3. Quantum PhysicsQuantum physics is somewhat more complicated than how I am about to explain it here. However, there are only two thing you need to understand.First, quantum physics is the science of possibilities. Physicists theorize that given enough time every possibility is possible.It is also science at the cellular level. It is where life begins, and it is where action begins. Accepting that all possibilities are possible and embracing all the possibilities in your life allows you to become open to all of the opportunities available to you.4. U.S. ArmyI have skills I will take with me for the rest of my life. Those skills are a part of me. I developed those skills through repetition. If you do something enough times, it becomes a part of you. Do something 1,000 times, and you develop competency. Do it 5,000 times, and you become skilled. Do it 10,000 times, and you become a master.Of themselves, these influences all help you make the change you desire if you apply them. When you combine them, they give you a complete toolkit and the skill set to make true and lasting change, which always comes from within. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://evohmms.info/the-4-influences-of-the-mind-body-spirit-business-and-life,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Applying Earned Value Management to Software Intensive Programs</title> <link>https://evohmms.info/applying-earned-value-management-to-software-intensive-programs,html</link> <comments>https://evohmms.info/applying-earned-value-management-to-software-intensive-programs,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 26 Mar 2023 07:48:53 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[management]]></category> <category><![CDATA[software]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://evohmms.info/?p=56</guid> <description><![CDATA[Many information technology projects have been declared too costly, too late. and often don’t work right.

Applying appropriate technical and management techniques can significantly improve the current situation. The principal causes of growth on these large-scale programs can be traced to several causes related to overzealous advocacy, immature technology, lack of corporate technology roadmaps, requirements instability, ineffective acquisition strategy, unrealistic program baselines, inadequate systems engineering, and work-force issues. This article provides a brief summary of four processes to resolve these issuesEstablishing a Process for Requirements Definition and Developing the Technical, Cost and Schedule BaselinesWe all realize the importance of having a motivated, quality work force but even our finest people can’t perform at their best when the process is not understood or not operating at its best. A well defined process is critical to defining the requirements and completing the initial cost and schedule estimate. The proper use of Performance-Based Earned Value® (PBEV) provides for integration of project technical scope, schedule, and cost objectives; and the establishment of a baseline plan for performance measurement. Additionally, the use of an analytic application to project likely cost and schedule based on actual performance provides for realistic projections of future performance. Success of the project can be aided by defining the best objectives, by planning resources and costs which are directly related to those objectives, by measuring accomplishments objectively against the plan, by identifying performance trends and problems as early as possible, and by taking timely corrective actions. In the book, “Software Sizing, Estimation and Risk Management” (Dan Galorath and Michael Evans, 2007) a ten step process is presented for program requirements generation and estimation. The 10 steps are:1. Establish Estimate Scope2. Establish Technical Baseline, Ground Rules, and Assumptions3. Collect Data4. Estimate and Validate Software Size5. Prepare Baseline Estimates6. Review, Verify and Validate Estimate7. Quantify Risks and Risk Analysis8. Generate a Project Plan9. Document Estimate and Lessons Learned10. Track Project Throughout DevelopmentThe key here is to establish an auditable, repeatable set of steps to establish the requirements and develop the baseline estimate of cost and schedule. Identifying Critical Software Management MetricsThat most large software programs get into trouble is a demonstrated phenomenon. Therefore selecting the correct set of software metrics to track is critical to program success. Practical Software Measurement (McGarry, Card, Jones; Addison-Wesley, 2002) identifies seven information categories and expands these information categories into measurable concepts and then prospective metrics . For Earned Value purposes, the most effective software metrics are those that relate to product size, schedule, quality, and progress. For software intensive programs, measures of quantity (e.g. number of lines of code completed) do not accurately reflect the quality aspects of the work performed on neither the program nor the actual progress since items such as lines of code completed do not capture items such as integration, testing, etc. Size is often measured as Source Lines of Code (SLOC) or Function Points and used as a sizing measure for budgets and for earned value using a percent of completion method. There are two critical problems with this approach. First, there has traditionally been a significant error in estimating SLOC. And, the number of lines of code completed does not necessarily reflect the quality or total progress toward a performance goal. Therefore, any progress metric based solely on SLOC is highly volatile. Whether SLOC, function points, Use Cases, or some other size artifact is selected, a careful process must be utilized to establish a credible size metric. It is recommended that in addition to tracking progress toward a goal, size growth should also be tracked.Schedule metrics and procedures normally relate to completion milestones are also a common tracking metric. Sometimes these milestone definitions and completion criteria lack quantifiable objectives. Often an incremental build is released that does not incorporate all the planned functional requirements or a developer claims victory after just testing the nominal cases.Progress metrics can be very difficult for large software programs. It is generally agreed that no software is delivered defect free. Software engineers have hoped that new languages and new processes would greatly reduce the number of delivered defects. However, this has not been the case. Software is still delivered with a significant number of defects. The physical and practical limitations of software testing (the only way to determine if a program will work is to write the code and run it) ensure that large programs will be released with undetected errors. Therefore, defects discovery and removal is a key metric for assessing program quality. Applying Performance-Based Earned Value (PBEV)Performance-Based Earned Value® (PBEV) is an enhancement to the Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) standard . PBEV overcomes the standard’s shortcomings with regard to measuring technical performance and quality (quality gap). PBEV is based on standards and models for systems engineering, software engineering, and project management that emphasize quality. The distinguishing feature of PBEV is its focus on the customer requirements. PBEV provides principles and guidance for cost effective processes that specify the most effective measures of cost, schedule, and product quality performance.Program managers expect accurate reporting of integrated cost, schedule, and technical performance when the supplier’s EVMS procedure complies with the EVMS Standard. However, EVM data will be reliable and accurate only if the following occurs:o The indicated quality of the evolving product is measured.o The right base measures of technical performance are selected.o Progress is objectively assessed.Using EVM also incurs significant costs. However, if you are measuring the wrong things or not measuring the right way, than EVM may be more costly to administer and may provide less management value . Because of the quality gap in the EVMS standard, there is no assurance the reported earned value (EV) is based on product metrics and on the evolving product quality. First, the EVMS standard states that EV is a measurement of the quantity of work accomplished and that the quality and technical content of work performed are controlled by other processes. A software manager should ensure that EV is also a measurement of the product quality and technical maturity of the evolving work products instead of just the quantity of work accomplished. Second, the EVMS principles address only the project work scope. EVMS ignores the product scope and product requirements. Third, the EVMS standard does not require precise, quantifiable measures of progress. It states that objective EV methods are preferred but it also states that management assessment (subjective) may be used. In contrast, other standards specify objective measurement. Fourth, EVM is perceived to be a risk management tool. However, EVMS was not designed to manage risk and provides no guidance on the subject. PBEV is a set of principles and guidelines that specify the most effective measures of cost, schedule, and product quality performance. It has several characteristics that distinguish it from traditional EVMS, by augmenting EVMS with four additional principles and 16 additional guidelines.PBEV supplements traditional EVMS with the best practices. Its principles and guidelines enable true integration of project cost, schedule, and technical performance. The distinguishing feature of PBEV is its focus on the customer requirements. Measures of product scope and product quality are incorporated into the project plan. Progress is measured against a plan to fulfill all customer requirements. Measuring the wrong things does not dilute management attention. Consequently, management is able to take rapid corrective actions on deviations that threaten customer satisfaction and business enterprise objectives.Using An Analytic Process To Project Cost And Schedule Based On Actual PerformanceOnce the requirement definition is complete; the cost and schedule baseline has been established; the appropriate metrics have been selected; and a PBEV system is in place, the final challenge is to implement a process that quickly and accurately estimates final cost and schedule based on actual performance. This analysis is best accomplished using an analytic/parametric process. Galorath Incorporated calls this process SEER Control. The purpose of SEER Control is to provide an understanding of the project’s progress so that appropriate corrective actions can be taken when the project’s performance deviates significantly from the plan. SEER Control provides a “dashboard” that includes a health and status indicator for the project related to: schedule variance, time variance, cost variance, size growth, and defects discovery and removal. At the heart of SEER Control is the ability to forecast the final project outcome based on actual performance to date. One of the primary goals of SEER Control is to provide adequate supporting documentation (charts and reports) to support the software project management process and to satisfy stakeholder needs.ConclusionManagement of Software Intensive Programs should be based on the foundation of establishing the requirements, developing a reliable baseline estimate for cost and schedule, selecting effective software metrics, applying Performance-Based Earned Value (PBEV), and using analytic processes to project cost and schedule based on actual performance.Author’s Note: This article was written with contributions from Dan Galorath, CEO of Galorath Inc. and author of the book, Software Sizing, Estimation, and Risk Management and Paul Solomon, co-author of the book, Performance-Based Earned Value®. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://evohmms.info/applying-earned-value-management-to-software-intensive-programs,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Importance of a Travel And Tourism Course For the Young Generation</title> <link>https://evohmms.info/importance-of-a-travel-and-tourism-course-for-the-young-generation,html</link> <comments>https://evohmms.info/importance-of-a-travel-and-tourism-course-for-the-young-generation,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 02 Feb 2023 05:59:16 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://evohmms.info/?p=54</guid> <description><![CDATA[Today’s generation of effervescent, young people is more open-minded, more informed, more adventurous and more mobile than ever before.

Traveling as a part of education is a long, established fact and with that in the backdrop, youth travel has become one of the most dynamic and fastest growing markets in the global tourism sector. The ruling body UNWTO estimates that nearly 20% of the 950 million international tourists traveling the globe during 2010-2014 were young people. Still, the importance of this market transcends beyond the numbers. Countless young students have been accredited or recognized by the UN as a major force for social change and development.The academic inferenceThe above point holds true for tourism as well, with young travelers leading a vibrant and positive change in the sector, championing environmental fortification and investing in local or state tourism business. As such, the concerned youth tourism and travel are one of the most promising pathways towards a more sustainable and responsible job sector. Education is the fulcrum of this sector, which underlines the need for a travel and tourism course. In an era of diverse and unprecedented challenges for the travel industry, these courses represent not just a pivotal market category, but also a crucial resource for change and innovation.The future of travel is youthBeing at the leading edge of a new era, young people impact the travel industry too. They think out of the box, experiment with the new and push all limits. The travel industry is undergoing vigorous changes with traditional vertical chains of distribution giving way to a more compound value network. It involves a wide range of multiple suppliers from within the domain and beyond a travel sector. Here, a travel and tourism course help you to understand the dynamics of the field. Today, travel is no more dependent on the old economy’s infrastructure like hotel beds, travel agents’ logistics, and airline seats. You are entering a networked, flexible and new economy wherein the local culture and society, ICT, work, education and play become fragments of the tourism value thread. This is where the courses become important.Things to find• In such a course, you learn the inter-relationships between tourism, travel, and other economic sectors.<br />• You learn about the integration that fosters value web instead of the primitive value chain.<br />• In this new value web, the value is made by actors outside and inside the tourism sector in various combinations for creating and exploiting new opportunities.<br />• Courses show and teach you to be at the forefront of these innovations because young minds are willing to cross every boundary and create new links.<br />• The nit-grid of the subject is that young people are early-adopter and heavy users of the newest technologies, which help them in pioneering the methodology of mobile media and social networking sites pertaining to product purchases and travel information.In a nutshellYou also learn how to advise a tourist on his/her product contract, transporting to the destination, provide food, accommodation, organize a meeting or events, and the thing about travel and transport companies and site operator groups. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://evohmms.info/importance-of-a-travel-and-tourism-course-for-the-young-generation,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Payday Loans – What You Need to Know</title> <link>https://evohmms.info/payday-loans-what-you-need-to-know,html</link> <comments>https://evohmms.info/payday-loans-what-you-need-to-know,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 01 Feb 2023 19:21:14 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://evohmms.info/?p=52</guid> <description><![CDATA[There are more payday loan stores in the United States than there are McDonalds restaurants so if you are in desperate need of an emergency infusion of cash you may be one step away from your goal.

But if your car is sitting in the driveway leaking vital fluids, you may not even have to leave home to get a payday loan as many purveyors of the service are now online.How a payday loan worksBefore you rush to do a search for “payday loan online” there are a few things you should know about how these types of loans work and what alternatives are available. A payday loan is a short term small-balance loan that is intended to tide you over till your next payday arrives. They can be conveniently obtained as payday loans do not require a credit check. If all you have are a checking account and two recent paychecks, you may be a customer. But there’s a price.Payday or payroll advance loans are offered by companies that usually fly under the radar of state and local government consumer protection laws. In some sates such as Georgia, which has the stiffest regulations in the country, payday lenders have been accused of predatory practice and have sometimes been run out of town on rails. In their defense, payday lenders say they provide a much-needed solution to consumers with less than perfect credit and who must have a quick infusion of cash to tide them over till their next pay day.In exchange for these high risk loans, payday lenders charge a fixed fee for a fixed period, usually fourteen days and if you happen to miss the fourteen day deadline, there’s a penalty fee that is added to your charges along with another set of fees to roll over the loan through another period.Rapid escalationIn short order, if you borrowed $500 for an emergency situation, you could end up owing as much as $700 if you miscalculated your cash flow and were forced to take a payday loan for a month. That equates to 480% or so per year and on the face of it, looks like a dreadfully large price to pay for a small amount of money. So payday loans are usually a good idea only when you have run out of options entirely.Whether you are applying online or in person, you must at least have a checking account. Payday lenders will require you to write them a postdated check for the loan amount plus the finance charges. They will be more than happy to extend the life of the loan if your needs are pressing. And the sheer convenience of payday loans online is difficult to resist. These sophisticated sites require your routing and account numbers from your check book and will routinely deposit money in your checking account almost instantly.What can go wrong?You run the risk of miscalculating your budget and getting into a cycle of using one payday loan to pay the other. The Center for Responsible Lending, a Durham, North Carolina non-profit, reports that the vast majority of payday loan borrowers do five transactions a year, while more than half of all borrowers take twelve or more loans per year. If you get into a cycle of dependency on payday loans, it may be hard to wean yourself from the habit.Several states led by Georgia recognize this and have banned payday loans at one time or another, including Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Vermont and West Virginia. But you should take heart if you live in those states, or if you have had all you can take of onerous interest rates.The alternativesYou may be surprised to learn there are alternatives to payday lending and certainly to the beguiling online payday lending sites. If your credit rating is in the cellar you may find the following suggestions just short of annoying but I’ll make them anyway:Use your credit card for which you’ll pay a much lower rate than a payday loan.Ask your payroll department for a salary advance.Ask a friend or family member for a loan.Offer your supplier or service person a post-dated check.Ask for an extension on your car loan that defers one month’s payment and frees up some cash.The other alternativesRealistically speaking, if you had good credit or a reasonably well-off family member, you would probably not be in the market for a payday loan. So your only reasonable alternative may be to minimize the damage. Searching for a payday loan online may be your best option for finding a reasonably low interest rate. But you must brace yourself for prompt repayment in order to avoid getting on the lender’s treadmill. Once you have lined up a reasonable rate and obtained your cash, you should start planning how to avoid becoming repeat business.Breaking the cycleA great place to start would be to learn how to make a simple personal budget so you can put aside small amounts of cash each payday for an emergency fund. If budgeting does not work for you, consider joining a credit union before your next crisis occurs. Credit unions now offer a nifty device called a Salary Advance Loan Program. State Employees Credit union in North Carolina has one of those. They will lend you up to $500.00 at 18% and with no fees attached and they allow borrowers to set up a loan by phone. They require that you have a direct deposit account with the credit union, into which your paycheck goes.But what if you don’t work for the state of North Carolina? Or what if you don’t belong to a credit union or have a family member who does? All is not lost. The National Credit Union Administration has a nifty web page accessible from their “Resources” page where you can search for credit unions by type and state. This is pretty useful because some credit unions will allow you membership just because you live in a particular city or county. Take ACCESS Federal Credit Union in New York state for instance. According to their web site, “if you live, work, worship, or go to school anywhere in Oneida County or the City of Oneida, you are now eligible to join.”OtherwiseIf you absolutely, positively cannot find a credit union near you that offers salary advance loan programs, try to minimize the damage by shopping around for the best possible rate, before you run into an emergency. With a little luck, payday lenders online and off may realize a little restraint can go a long way. Any day now congress may decide to take up legislation to cap payday loan rates at lower levels, much as they have done for military personnel, whose rates have been capped at 36%. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://evohmms.info/payday-loans-what-you-need-to-know,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>How To Build A Raised Garden Bed: Ten Things You May Not Know About Them</title> <link>https://evohmms.info/how-to-build-a-raised-garden-bed-ten-things-you-may-not-know-about-them,html</link> <comments>https://evohmms.info/how-to-build-a-raised-garden-bed-ten-things-you-may-not-know-about-them,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 01 Feb 2023 15:39:26 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://evohmms.info/?p=50</guid> <description><![CDATA[Raised garden beds have many reasons for being built.

Many people have difficulty in bending and this is the main reason why people build them. Every conceivable design, size and height imaginable is on offer.Designs can be improved by adding structure and height when building a raised garden. Soil erosion is a problem in some gardens and can be cured by building a raised garden bed. When producing a vegetable bed or a neat controlled flower bed in a garden built on a slope then a raised garden bed is the best choice to use.There are many things to consider when thinking about building one.Location is the most important thing to think about. To have a good harvest vegetables require at least six hours of sunshine a day. Avoid building near shrubs and over-hanging trees.The second thing you need to think about is the design. It can be expensive to use a professional garden design company although they will ensure the right materials for the raised garden bed. Garden nurseries are a good place to find help as is the use of pictures and gardening magazines.When planning and planting good advice can also nowadays be found on many online gardening websites. To help design and build bed many online sites offer free garden design software.Selecting the building materials is the next step after having designed it. From garden rocks and bricks to wooden sleepers can be used as a wide variety of materials. An easier way if you find all this difficult and not having the skills, is to buy a ready made raised garden bed kit or a ready made garden box and simply put it together yourself. When building from scratch this can take a lot of the hard work out of it.Next comes preparation of the area where you want to put it. You need to allow for light so you should clip back any over-hanging branches to get the level needed. 4 feet by 8 feet is a good working size for a raised garden bed The space available in the garden should naturally be adapted to fit the bed. It is recommended not to build them to large as this may well produce problems when you try to sow and weed the plants as you may not be able to reach the center. You can avoid the problem of weeds in your raised garden bed by laying a weed barrier fabric to cut down on them coming through.Choosing your materials to construct your raised garden bed comes next on the agenda. If you use a ready made garden kit you should ensure it cannot move around as it must be kept level. Do this by leaving stakes about 6 inches above the ground and then hammer them into each corner of the raised garden bed. The top edge of the raised bed should be left level for the stakes if your bed is low.You should fill your raised garden bed with soil once you have constructed it. Good moisture retention will not only improve your plants but by adding compost you can also provide them with the right nutrients as well. Online garden nurseries as well as garden supply companies sell both compost and soil. You will find that the back breaking task of getting it home yourself can be solved by most garden supply companies who offer home delivery.Leave the soil to settle after watering it well. Once this has happened it may well be necessary to top up the soil levels. Your raised garden bed is now ready for planting your seeds or plants. To do this type of job you will always need the proper tools. The most used tools are a garden rake and a garden hoe. If your soil is stony then a garden sieve is needed.The same amount of garden design can go into any raised garden bed similar to any area of your garden whether you are using your raised garden bed for flowers and plants or vegetables. When you want to add height to an area of your garden for planting think vertical gardening. Some of the types of vegetables that grow up canes are runner beans and tomatoes. Making the most of your raised garden bed can include planning garden ornaments and accessories such as garden obelisks and windmills for a clematis to climb up.The back garden or back yard need not be the only place to put a raised garden bed. You can also design and build your own in your front garden as well as the back garden. The convenience and design no matter what you end up using it for will always give you lots of enjoyment and add style to your garden.If you would like to know how to quickly improve your gardening then click on GARDENING FOR NOVICES below. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://evohmms.info/how-to-build-a-raised-garden-bed-ten-things-you-may-not-know-about-them,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
