Michael Gallagher - Business Continuity Management: How To Protect Your Comp...


Business continuity management (BCM) has become a hot topic in recent years and more significantly, in recent months (September 11, foot and mouth and flooding). However, BCM is not just about recovery from a disaster such one caused by fire or flood or the failure of IT systems. It can also be about the collapse of a key supplier or customer, about fraud, unethical operations and about reputation management. Recent surveys have shown that most companies still do not have business continuity plans and of those that have plans, many have never been tested or exercised. As a result, corporate governance, regulatory, insurance, audit and general business requirements are now emphasising the importance of robust risk management and BCM practices in every organisation. Today, it is vital that board members and senior executives understand the nature and scope of BCM. They need to be in a position to evaluate and enhance the status of the activity within their organizations. This briefing examines the nature of BCM and looks at its relationship with other activities such as risk management, insurance and the emergency services.

Managing Software Deliverables, First Edition : A Software Development Management Methodology

"
Managing Software Deliverables—A Software Development Management Methodology describes a set of proven processes for establishing an effective Software Program Management Office (SPMO) function in a corporate setting. Every business that has people performing Software Project Management (PM) activities has a need for these processes. In some instances, an organization may already have a PMO chartered with overall responsibility for each project managed in an enterprise. In those cases, this book either provides validation of their efforts or it provides some techniques and useful approaches that can be utilized to further improve on their overall implementation of the PMO. In the vast majority of cases in business, however, a PMO is unheard of.

John Battelle, The Search


If you pick your books by their popularity--how many and which other people are reading them--then know this about The Search: it's probably on Bill Gates' reading list, and that of almost every venture capitalist and startup-hungry entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. In its sweeping survey of the history of Internet search technologies, its gossip about and analysis of Google, and its speculation on the larger cultural implications of a Web-connected world, it will likely receive attention from a variety of businesspeople, technology futurists, journalists, and interested observers of mid-2000s zeitgeist.

Becoming Agile: ...in an imperfect world



Many books discuss Agile from a theoretical or academic perspective. Becoming Agile takes a different approach and focuses on explaining Agile from a case-study perspective. Agile principles are discussed, explained, and then demonstrated in the context of a case study that flows throughout the book. The case study is based on a mixture of the author's real-world experiences.

Becoming Agile also focuses on the importance of adapting Agile principles to the realities of your environment. In the early days of Agile, there was a general belief that Agile had to be used in all phases of a project, and that it had to be used in its purest form. Over the last few years, reputable Agile authorities have begun questioning this belief: We're finding that the best deployments of Agile are customized to the realities of a given company.

Becoming Agile discusses the cultural realities of deploying Agile and how to deal with the needs of executives, managers, and the development team during migration. The author discusses employee motivation and establishing incentives that reward support of Agile techniques.

Praise for Becoming Agile...

"This is much more than just a book about Agile. This is a roadmap. A very detailed roadmap that takes you from the initial "is Agile right for me?" stage through completion and delivery of your pilot project and beyond."
-Charlie Griefer, Senior Software Engineer, Amcom Technology

"...a must read for those of us who have come from years of waterfall and attempts at changes to "traditional" methodologies or processes... clear, concise and has plenty of example scenarios that many individuals and corporations would identify with."

Assessing and Managing Security Risk in IT Systems: A Structured Methodology

This book is written to push back the advance of security-as-art and supplant it with a structured methodology that functions independent of technology evolution. The author outlines a simple yet thorough process to guide readers in the analysis and mitigation of risks in IT systems. The handbook contains enough detail to ensure practitioners and policy makers can apply the concepts of the model. Because it does not delve into technical implications, an in-depth technical background is not necessary, although all technical people can work within its structure. Assessing and Managing Security Risk in IT Systems promises to become the most dog-eared possession for anyone charged with security in IT systems.

How to Use Adsense on Adsense Blocked/Blacklisted Sites

Everyone does mistakes but not everyone forgives them and Google falls in the less forgiving ones category. If you have got your website blocked or blacklisted for adsense by not complying with any of the adsense policies Google is not going to let you re-participate in their program with that specific site. No matter how much re-consideration requests you send, Google forgives very seldom. If you feel bad for your mistake and want to play fair onwards then the tip below is definitely for you.

To make your site re-participate in the adsense the best choice for you is to buy a new domain and put 301 redirect from the old domain. For example if you had www.some-domain.com, buy www.some-domain.net and create a dynamic redirect which redirects every page to the same page on the new domain.

The new domain will not be blacklisted as far as you comply with their policies. All the pages from your new domain will indexed as it is and you will not lose any traffic.

To know more about how to do 301 redirect on different platforms, please read about 301 redirets here
