  1. Re:School is angered by this? on Student in Court Over Suspension For YouTube Video · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up, this person has hit the nail on the coffin.

    This argument should not be about the kids rights. This argument should not be about the video disrupting the classroom or the disruption of the classroom.

    This argument should be about the conspiracy that this is an attempt to punish someone for attempted defamatory to a person as well as a school.

    The disruption of the classroom comes from the teacher. As you can clearly see there are students that have no respect for her because of her hygiene, her organization, and instructing capabilities.

    The result should have been a normal suspension and an immediate review of the teachers lectures and lesson plans.

    Usually teachers of this caliber are gone or re-assigned by the end of the school year.

    That same information can be vital especially if you're trying to get an idea on how much your project could cost the company.

    Yet comparing yourself to others is how companies improve. This is how positive competition is created. This is how problems get fixed.

    When I first started working at my company there were no solid metrics in place. We had a backup system not being tested. We had a NAS system growing out of control. What happens when we started placing metrics in place? Things begin to change.

    I recall someone wondering why the director would never approve a project until I went to the director with numbers and history (DATA!) and a 6 month fight turned into a quick chat with the result in a decision.

    Performance and time spent has to be measured because this is a cost to the company and yourself.

    When the IT department performs terribly on it's help desk support you can end up alienating your customers - the company - and always make it feel that contacting help desk is a waste of time.

    If some wise guy exec decides to make the quick decision to replace the entire department (although you outperform 70-90% of IT departments in the country) with outsourcing. They'll never find out the impact money/time wise until is too late. Now, you're out of a job yet you were the best.

    Metrics can be your friend.

  6. Re:A warning about surveys... on How Would You Benchmark an IT/IS Department? · · Score: 1

    Careful, some surveys are not done or controlled by the IT department even if the subject matter is the IT department. This happened to our department and we weren't moved by the development of survey.

    Title does not alway dictate game play.

    It may tell you the subject matter, yet if you had no idea that Halo was an FPS shooter you may think it was a game that specialized in skydiving techniques, or the next installment of Kid Icarus.

    Tandberg Management Suite is a webapp that depends on a Java Applet.
