Today, there is a vast ocean of data that is being amassed every minute, every day. The biggest challenge is what we make of that data and how fast. Real-time analytics is a practice that analyzes this data as and when it comes into the system. Analysts are continuously sifting through and studying this data in order to identify a pattern or identify important insights that help can help businesses make informed decisions.

I have been in a serious relationship for more than 12 years. My partner in this relationship has brought me joy through the years, but lately, I feel like I’m giving to this relationship far more than I’m getting out of it. The relationship no longer brings me the joy that it once did, and has suffered from several breaches. The post Why I’m Breaking Up with Facebook appeared first on Tim Mitchell.

One fine day in a land called Twitter, someone posted a short video clip of their car moving itself from one parking space to an adjacent space. They said their city had imposed a 2-hour limit on parking, so they were using a special feature of the car to move it without leaving their office. The video appeared to have been shot through a second-storey window overlooking the street.

See the Rewriting Effort as an Opportunity to Innovate.

I usually find a diversity of opinion when I ask anyone within an organization what their products are. This is true for product companies whose primary source of revenue is their product and for companies who use products internally to run their business. This comes from a lack of shared understanding. Not having agreement on “what is our product” is particularly problematic in large enterprises that have built complex organizational structures.

In 2018, the Agile ecosystem continued to evolve and expand.

You’ve integrated your data into a single view. That’s step #1. Now implement a data management process that delivers the right data to the right people.
