I’ve never met an executive who said, “my team’s just too strategic. I just wish they would focus on the day-to-day work.” Nope in fact it’s quite the opposite concern. “How do I get my team to think more strategically?” “Karin, I just don’t think anyone on this team is ready to take on my role… and I can’t get promoted until I find a successor.” And the phone call of the week is, “these millennials just don’t se

I'm currently researching big data project management in order to better understand what makes big data projects different from other tech related projects. So far I've interviewed more than a dozen government, private sector, and academic professionals, all of them experienced in managing data intensive projects. What I'm finding is that professionals with experience managing such projects believe that big data projects do share characteristics with other types of projects.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

There’s no question. The best way to get better at leading is by leading. Learn some skills, get out of your comfort zone, try them out, get feedback, take it seriously, adjust, repeat. It’s the premise behind high-end executive development programs that include action learning projects and 360 feedback assessments. The trouble is, such programs are often reserved for high-potential talent at a certain level of the organization.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Is there a mindful approach to failure? You may reject the question on its face. After all, if you were mindful in the first place, wouldn’t you succeed rather than fail? You might if you had perfect knowledge or controlled all the variables, but, of course, none of us do. Failure is a fact of life. Since it’s ever present, shouldn’t you and your team try to learn from it so you do better next time?

The Programmer's Paradox

OCTOBER 25, 2015

Disorganization is extremely dangerous for a software development project. No matter what code quality is delivered by the programmers, if it is just dumped into a ball of mud it will grow increasingly unstable. Software rusts quite quickly and cannot be maintained if the costs to read and modify it are unreasonable. Disorganization significantly amplifies those costs.
