Okay, so I’m just going to go ahead and say it: It is impossible to accurately estimate a software project of any significance. Now, a non-trivial number of you are going to read that sentence and think I’m nuts. And maybe I am. But someone has to just say what we all know to be true but don’t want to admit. Look, there have been countless books written, innumerable conferences held, untold consulting hours purchased, and endless blog posts written on how to be better at estimating software pro

Slowly but steadily, while we’ve been preoccupied with trying to meet demands that outstrip our resources, grappling with unfair treatment, or watching our working hours encroach upon our downtime, burnout has become the new baseline in many work environments. From the 40% of Gen Z workers who believe burnout is an inevitable part of success, to executives who believe high-pressure, “trial-by-fire” assignments are a required rite of passage, to toxic hustle culture that pushes busyness as a badg

As CIO, you’re in the risk business. Or rather, every part of your responsibilities entails risk, whether you’re paying attention to it or not. And in spite of the spate of books that extol risk-taking as the only smart path, it’s worth remembering that their authors don’t face what might be the biggest risk CIOs have to deal with every day: executive teams adept at preaching risk-taking without actually supporting it.

IT organizations are in a constant battle between ensuring that data is accessible to users, one the one hand, and that the data is globally protected and in compliance with data governance policies, on the other. Added to this is the need to ensure that files are stored in the most cost-effective manner possible, on whichever storage is best at that point in time.
