Analytics as a Shared Service

In practice, there is. " – Yogi Berra, of course In theory, data-driven government and performance management should be widespread in local government, given the abundance of technology available and the clear interest in running the most efficient and effective operations. In practice, it’s not, at least not here in Massachusetts. Public works provides a clear example. Elected officials and the public want to know about the effectiveness and efficiency of their public works operations. In many public works departments in Massachusetts, the question is fundamentally unanswerable. Even in those municipalities with data, it is rare that data is regularly analyzed for management decisions.

Ironically, if these departments could use data to tell their stories, those stories would often be about how the departments are now doing more work than they were 10 years ago with fewer staff than they had then. The list could go on and on. Grid4C - Cutting Edge Smart Grid Predictive Analytics. B2B Sales and Marketing Intelligence – Official Website.

Understanding the GitHub Flow · GitHub Guides

This guide explains how and why GitHub Flow works. Create a branch When you're working on a project, you're going to have a bunch of different features or ideas in progress at any given time – some of which are ready to go, and others which are not. Branching exists to help you manage this workflow. When you create a branch in your project, you're creating an environment where you can try out new ideas. ProTip Branching is a core concept in Git, and the entire GitHub Flow is based upon it. Because of this, it's extremely important that your new branch is created off of master when working on a feature or a fix. Add commits Once your branch has been created, it's time to start making changes.

Commits also create a transparent history of your work that others can follow to understand what you've done and why. Open a Pull Request.
