"Een Weblog is leuk", zo luidde het commentaar van Marcel, "maar nu nog even een RSS feed." Tja, goed idee, maar hoe dan. Gelukkig wordt ik ook hierin geholpen door Blogger. En dus een feed voor de reader.
Since 2009 I am a big fan of doing scrum , especially in SAP projects. I know there is a lot of fuzz going on around scrum, again especially in SAP projects ;-) But I am convinced that using scrum will really help you to fulfil your customer needs. Not the needs that have been defined some time ago, but the actual requirements to support business challenges. Requirements that can change along the way, just like business challenges. In the years since 2009 I've done a lot of talks on scrum , coached a lot of projects but 'forgot' to certify myself... So that was my personal challenge early May.
Here we go, Top 10 SAP TechEd topics 2010. Just like in 2009 and in 2008 . Based on the 417 sessions published on the site I counted the hit ratio on the below listed topics. Not to be taken too seriously, just for fun ;-) (1, 1) SAP NetWeaver (93 sessions) (2, 10) Business Objects (45) (3, 6) ABAP (32) (5, 4) BPM (22) (4, 5) BI (18) (-, -) Sybase (17) (-, -) Mobile (15) (-, -) PI (13) (7, 9) Web Dynpro (12) (7, 10) Enterprise services (8) (-,-) Microsoft (8) Runners up : Sybase and mobile applications. Looking forward to play around with that next week. And as predicted : Microsoft. Droppers , not in the Top 10 anymore: Composition Environment (4 sessions, #8 in 2008, #9 in 2009), Java (4 sessions, #3 in 2008, #8 in 2009) and SOA (4 sessions, #2 in 2008, #6 in 2009). Sybase is no surprise. Just as Business Objects wasn't last year. Java dropped out of the Top 10. Looking back at SAP TechEd 2009 you could predict that to happen. Last year all Java sessions were hidden somewhere
Next generation expectations Imagine that you are part of the current studying generation. With all the hard effort you are eager to start your professional life soon. You are common to use Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Evernote and other fancy 'apps' to fulfill your needs. Apps with a great user experience - all designed with you as a consumer of the app as a starting point. And then … you start your first day at the office - you get a welcome, a cup of coffee and your own desk with a desktop running SAP with its famous blue screens … Guess you can see the contrast of IT solutions (apps) that you got used to while in college and the IT solution (SAP) that your company is using. Design Thinking Why this huge contrast? Well we all know that on the topic of user experience there is enough to improve in the SAP world. That's why SAP is spreading the word around Design Thinking these days. And that is a good thing! Balance Business viability, Human desirability and T
