whitepaper Fujitsu's Business Continuity Plan Development Methodology2007-04-01 Fujitsu
  In today's high-risk business environments, more and more companies are focusing on the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) as a management methodology for improving their ability to respond to any contingency. However, BCP development methodologies suitable for the business environment of Japanese companies have not progressed much beyond the theoretical stage, and the persons in charge of BCP development in companies have been struggling with this issue. Fujitsu has developed a practical methodology and software tool called BCEXPERT to streamline development of its own BCPs for business formations within the Fujitsu Group. This paper describes Fujitsu's BCP development methodology that has been standardized as the Fujitsu Business Continuity Management Model.   
whitepaper Major Media Company Puts the "Team" Back in Software Development2007-04-01 Microsoft
  Clear Channel Communications, a Fortune 500 media company, owns more than 1,200 radio and TV stations across the United States and 750,000 billboards worldwide. The company's Enterprise Application Development group lacked a standard development methodology, formal software testing, and requirements authoring standards. In addition, the group missed project deadlines because requirements changed late in development. This situation adversely affected business planning. Seeking a solution, Clear Channel deployed Microsoft Visual Studio Team System and defined its development model and framework based on the Microsoft Solutions Framework. The result was a complete culture change: formerly opposing factions became a cohesive, productive team. Besides completing high-quality applications on time, the team now shares common terminology, a common understanding of roles, and a common process.

whitepaper Leading Shipbuilder Streamlines Operations With New Project Management Solution2007-03-07 Microsoft
