Whose responsibility are Requirements Specifications? (Agile and Processes forum at JavaRanch) Hi all, first of all, thank you guys for this discussion I like the definitions from PMBOK. Peer I'm glad that your german roots do help here Originally posted by Peer Reynders: DIN 69905/PMBOK Lastenheft - Statement of Work (as issued by the Customer) Plichtenheft - Proposal (as issued by the Vendor) On the other hand IEEE, as Peer hints, has its own definition of this stuff.

Originally posted by Peer Reynders: I would go with the "IEEE 830-1998 Recommended Practice for Software Requirements Specifications (ANSI/IEEE)". ... So as far as I am concerned the SRS is the WHAT document and the functional and non-functional specifications are the HOW documents. So this can be one origin why we have those naming conflicts. . See my reason why I see it this way: Like PMBOK from PMI we have SWEBOK from IEEE. These terms are not my invention. I agree with you, but it always depends what customer you have. Originally posted by Stan James: Everybody's WHAT is somebody else's HOW. ... . . .

Request for Proposal: A Guide to Effective RFP Development (0785342775754): Bud Porter-Roth. Collective.workflowed. A javascript based graphical editor for workflows that adds a workflow control panel to Plone. Project Description A workflow editor with full drag and drop support, based on the powerful draw2d library from the openjacob project. A control panel is added to Plone to allow editing of all Plone workflows and creation of new ones. State and transition properties can be modified without switching tabs on the ZMI and the result is immediately visible on the diagram. The product makes use of collective.wtf to easily generate CSV and XML views, plus making workflow sanity checks. How to use To use this tool, you need to have a good understanding of how workflow works in Plone. At the left of the editor screen, you will find a toolbar, which allows you to select the pointer, a state or a transition.

To connect a state with possible transitions, the editor uses the concept of 'ports'. To connect a transition with a destination state, use the green dot instead. Future directions All Releases. Office Business Application for Sales Proposal Document Management. Many organizations that offer a commodity or service accept Request for Proposal (RFP) documents from their customers. An organization that receives an RFP then creates an RFP response document for the customer that provides the answers to the questions asked in the RFP.

An RFP can include requests for information on topics that span a wide range of areas. Some examples are requests for corporate information, pricing quotes, product specifications, and technical details. The odds are slim that a single individual will have the knowledge and expertise to answer all of the questions posed in a complex RFP, requiring the assignment of the different areas of the RFP to different people. This article presents an example of an Office Business Application built on the Office platform that supports collaborative creation of an RFP response document. The solution allows a team lead to assemble a virtual team and then assign different regions of an RFP to team members. Figure 1. Figure 2. Quote & Proposal Management Software : Customer Relationship Management Screen Shots- On Demand CRM.

Salesboom Quote management is a flexible means of creating customized quotes that are integrated out-of-the-box with Marketing, Sales, Service & Support as well as the Quotations department and management. Many businesses, both SMEs and large enterprises alike, have difficulty protecting margins in these times of volatile commodity prices and constantly changing product prices.

Most often quotation departments are so out of tune with real product costs and Sales promotions that quotations are sent to the customer without adequate margins, due to the difficulty of sharing information corporation-wide that directly effects the bottom line. Salesboom Cloud Quote Management Software, on-demand gives your business the tools to share real-time data about product pricing and availability, current offers and promotions, sales pipeline and delivery volumes so that quotes can be generated with up to the second data, which can mean the difference between profit and loss on each and every sale.

Cincom Systems Inc. | Software to Simplify Business Operations. Cloud Computing | Cloud Solutions. A Winning Proposition. THE SALES CYCLE IS ALMOST a gauntlet: Between working hard prospecting for new business and finally getting the order, there’s a long road fraught with any number of pitfalls. And maybe the most intimidating hurdle is the proposal. Fortunately, more automated and user-friendly tools are coming to the table to help channel partners do their best in the proposal process.

A salesperson lives and dies by reputation and the first impression. If the proposal is shoddy, the customer may not take you seriously. Worse, if the quote is not what they’re looking for, they’ll turn to someone else who can meet their needs. Moreover, proposals increasingly are becoming a way to differentiate oneself. Unfortunately, all of that is easier said than done. Also, in the telecom business, just getting quotes to build the proposal on can bog down the process, reflecting poorly on the agent.

Fortunately for agents, more tools are becoming available to help automate the process. Sales Process Group - Share Knowledge and Experience.

"Managing for Value: Developing a Performance Measurement System Integrating Economic Value Added and the Balanced Scorecard in Strategic Planning" by Fletcher, Harold D.; Smith, Darlene Brannigan - Journal of Business Strategies, Vol. 21, Issue 1, Spring. Abstract Economic value added (EVA) systems and the balanced scorecard (BSC) have generated a tremendous interest in corporate America recently as approaches to performance management.

Implementation of these methodologies has not proven to be easy. This paper introduces the analytical hierarchy process and shows how this methodology addresses the limitations ore VA and BSC by integrating them into one comprehensive system. A case study is used to illustrate this methodology. Introduction Managing for value has become the mantra of today's executives as the reality of today's competitive environments force businesses to focus on improving profitability. Firms, both large and small, are implementing value-based measures using measures such as Economic Value Added (EVA). We focus on the development of a complementary system of managerial metrics linking the EVA system to the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) using analytical hierarchy processing (AHP).

General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was a multilateral agreement regulating international trade. According to its preamble, its purpose was the "substantial reduction of tariffs and other trade barriers and the elimination of preferences, on a reciprocal and mutually advantageous basis. " It was negotiated during the United Nations Conference on Trade and Employment and was the outcome of the failure of negotiating governments to create the International Trade Organization (ITO).

GATT was signed in 1947 and lasted until 1994, when it was replaced by the World Trade Organization in 1995. The original GATT text (GATT 1947) is still in effect under the WTO framework, subject to the modifications of GATT 1994.[1] Rounds[edit] GATT held a total of nine rounds, Annecy Round: 1949[edit] The second round took place in 1949 in Annecy, France. 13 countries took part in the round. Torquay Round: 1951[edit] The third round occurred in Torquay, England in 1950. Geneva Round: 1955–59[edit] Bolshevism, the Road to Revolution.

There have been many books and potted histories of Russia, either written from an anti-Bolshevik perspective, or its Stalinist mirror image, which paint a false account of the rise of Bolshevism. For them, Bolshevism is either an historical "accident" or "tragedy". Or it is portrayed erroneously as the work of one great man (Lenin) who marched single-minded towards the October Revolution. Alan Woods, in rejecting these "theses", reveals the real evolution of Bolshevism as a living struggle to apply the methods of Marxism to the peculiarities of Russia. Using a wealth of primary sources, Alan Woods uncovers the fascinating growth and development of Bolshevism in pre-revolutionary Russia. Paperback copies of this book are available. The online publication of this book is part of the In Defence of Marxism project. The book, which is nearly 600 pages long has a retail price of £15 in Britain, but you can get a special price if you buy it directly from us.

Bolshevik. The Bolsheviks were the majority faction in a crucial vote, hence their name. They ultimately became the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.[6] The Bolsheviks came to power in Russia during the October Revolution phase of the Russian Revolution of 1917, and founded the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic which would later become the chief constituent of the Soviet Union in 1922. The Bolsheviks, founded by Vladimir Lenin and Alexander Bogdanov, were by 1905 a major organization consisting primarily of workers under a democratic internal hierarchy governed by the principle of democratic centralism, who considered themselves the leaders of the revolutionary working class of Russia. Their beliefs and practices were often referred to as Bolshevism. History of the split[edit] In the 2nd Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, held in Brussels and London during August 1903, Lenin and Julius Martov disagreed over the membership rules.

Tools for inventing organizations: Toward a handbook of organizational processes Thomas W. Malone, Kevin Crowston, Jintae Lee, Brian Pentland, Chrysanthos Dellarocas, George Wyner, John Quimby, Charley Osborn, Abraham Bernstein Copyright © 1997 Center for Coordination Science Massachusetts Institute of Technology Tools for inventing organizations: Toward a handbook of organizational processes This paper describes a novel theoretical and empirical approach to tasks such as business process redesign, enterprise modeling, and software development. A key element of the work is an approach to analyzing processes at various levels of abstraction, thus capturing both the details of specific processes as well as the "deep structure" of their similarities.

The goal of compiling a complete handbook of business processes is, of course, a never-ending task. Figure 1. HOME - IBS Group. MBA Jobs, MBA Recruitment, MBA Schools.

"Particularly timely given Coase's receipt of the 1991 Nobel Prize for economics....For students and noneconomists, the volume provides an accessible route into the now enormous literature on economic organization....Specialists, on the other hand, will find ample grist for their analytical mills. " "The evolution of the theory is interesting, several important issues are discussed, and the suggestions for future research are illuminating. "Many of the papers are exccellent. "A lively debate on economic approaches to the firm....It is unlikely that there is a better book than this one for understanding what the economics mainstream and periphery have to say today on the organization and governance of the firm.

Please forward comments to: Marshall Van Alstyne MIT Sloan School50 Memorial Drive E53-308Cambridge, MA 02139 marshall@mit.edu Forthcoming in Journal of Organizational Computing (1997), 7(3) This article reviews the literature on network organizations and interprets explanations for its behaviors in terms of established analytical principles. Tools from computer science, economics, and sociology give three markedly different interpretations of its core attributes but they also settle on a handful of common themes. The proposed benefits are a clarification of what it means for an organization to be network structured, a few insights into its origins, and a suggestion of where the boundaries to some of its different forms might lie. A helpful network of outstanding reviewers is responsible for many of the ideas appearing in this article. Table of Contents Abstract Acknowledgments I.
