| Managing Outsourced Strategic Product Development - Business Value Model: Aligning Delivery Practices to Maximize Business Value
|
| - V. Balaji |
| This paper goes into excruciating, researched detail about how to implement the various practices described, and the need for (and means to achieve) flexibility based on organizational need and/or mandate. The citations, level of detail and research, go great distances in clarifying the author's points and the graphics, rather than being self-promotional, are informative and clarifying. The paper actually provides a singular jumping-off point for anyone interested in optimization to take the first solid steps in that direction. It's an impressive body of work. |

| "Transition Effectiveness Analysis & Measurement Model (TEAM)" A Quantitative Approach to Managing Successful Vendor-Vendor Transition Programs
|
| - Rashmi Singh, Rathinakumar Balasubramanian |
| One of the best papers of the conference, this analysis provides a hard-hitting, powerful means to evaluate one of the most undervalued and desperately needed areas of project management-transitions. This overlooked aspect of PM is frequently the determinant as to whether a project is ultimately deemed successful or not. And the model presented here affords a high degree of clarity and objectivity to an otherwise frequently subjective process. It has been well thought out, provides actionable guidance and can apply across a broad spectrum of industries. Bravo. |

| Making Agile Work in Offshore Outsourced Model
|
| - Amit Gupta, Hemanta Chandra Bhatt |
| This paper does a very effective job of both describing the classic applications of sprints in Agile, and then explores how they can be modified to be more applicable in an offshore environment. What I most appreciated about this effort was that it captured not only the existing environment, but also examined the details of a new and innovative process that looks on the surface to be wholly achievable by organizations that have a baseline understanding of Scrum and its nature. It was the innovation in this paper that took the day and made it worth reading. It was not just expository on existing practice, but forward thinking on how to adapt a growing practice in a specific context. |
