Ongoing Goals (Technical) |
Avoid multiple concurrent changes |
Better management tools and procedures for large numbers of servers |
Contribute to OpenSource |
Full redundancy |
Good documentation of systems and procedures |
Improve integration with other University applications |
Maintain Old ID System |
Move intelligence from specialized hardware into applications |
Offload support to groups better able to do it (also improving
customer service) |
Reduce SSN Use |
Simplify, Standardize, and Automate |
Ongoing Goals (Procedural) |
Be accessible: Keep doors open, be available on IM, answer the phone,
reply to email in a timely fashion |
Better self promotion to other departments |
Clear identification of roles, responsibilities, authority, and
ownership |
Communicate openly and regularly and in a professional manner |
Everyone is responsible for everyone else's work |
Improve incident handling |
Keep perspective: Don't blow small problems out of proportion,
don't be wildly optimistic |
Less tension, more fun |
Proper coordination of design and implementation
- Get appropriate people in early
- Clearly define requirements and acceptance criteria
- Don't overreach: solve the defined problem and save the rest for later
- Make sure customer understanding = developer understanding
- Create realistic testing scenarios
- Scale up gradually
|
Publish: Papers, software packages, mailing lists |
Regular self and group evaluations |
Remain in regular contact with 7th floor |
Resolve problems by consensus wherever possible |
Share knowledge within and outside of AcIS |
Spend an average of 1 hour per day on non-top priorities |
Stricter adherence to the Project
