Earlier this week, I blogged about the automatic cleanup process that purges old data from the SSIS catalog logging tables. This nightly process removes data for operations that are older than 365 days. While this is useful, many SSIS admins have complained that this process is very slow and contentious on large or busy SSISDB databases. In this post, I’ll.

For starters, let me just say there’s no problem with story points. Story points are a way of expressing the relative sizes of stories. They can be helpful for short-term planning of software development activities. Unfortunately, sometimes people get hung up on the numbers, and they lose track of the substance. People can get into the habit of repeating the buzzwords and marketing phrases that go along with a particular named or branded Thing.

The following scene is one of the most pivotal moments in the Game of Thrones series. As a loyal viewer , this scene represents a turning point for Tyrion. He has reached a breaking point after a lifetime of conflict with his father. His speech is the moment that he sets out on a different path, a path that ultimately leads to (spoiler) the murder his father and (unsurprisingly) a deep schism with his family.

When doing any new development or major overhaul of existing SSIS architecture, I almost always recommend to clients that they deploy those packages to the SSIS catalog. Using the catalog to store and execute SSIS packages takes a lot of the manual work out of development and maintenance, particularly when it comes to package logging. When you execute a package.

In slide #9 of this deck about using cycle time analytics in forecasting, Troy Magennis shows that when four people plan to meet for dinner, there is only one chance in 16 that all four will arrive on time. Typical corporate management thinking would solve this problem by creating a Department of Dinner Planning and promulgating detailed procedures, based on Industry Best Practices, to ensure people arrived on time for each dinner.

Domo’s Chris Willis explores the biggest problem in your company that no one wants to talk about. Maybe Machiavelli was right.

Servant leadership is a term that’s been around for decades. While it can sometimes feel overused or outdated, I believe the principles of servant leadership remain as relevant today as they’ve ever been. For example, a 2017 Gallup workplace poll found that roughly two-thirds of American employees are either not engaged or are actively disengaged from their work.
