For the Story is Long and Takes a Long Time

Every now and then I see a post float across my dash about younger folks (my lawn is a field of local plants and and drip watered, please enjoy) wanting an algorithm for AO3 or only wanting longer fic, or blah, blah. Not sure how much of that is pervasive and not folks grumping at the sky.

But this is the grumping at the sky site, so whatever.

Ever wondered what the labor involved in a long fic looks like? Wonder no longer, here's a line graph.

This represents the kind of sustained labor required to finish a maybe (I'm not done yet) 350k work. 

It's not a single story. It's 18 stories from 18 POV that braid around similar (but not identical because people observe different things) events. It's OFMD modern AU. 

Nothing is posted. I don't post unfinished stories. I learn too much while I write for that to ever work for me. Even if I have an outline. 

Now you may wonder, how did I come up with graph? Probably not, but I'm going to explain anyway. 

After working on and off on the project (the reason it doesn't start at zero) I decided to apply some techniques I use for project management. What I'm about to describe can be used for any type of complicated project.

Step 1

-Break the "project" down into milestones. 18 stories. I've also broken it down into 4 phases per story:  1) Write draft 1, 2) Edit, 3) Have you heard of 2nd edit? 4) Hopefully we're at Spag edit. 

Step 2 - 

Assign points to every milestone.

I use this sequence of #s*: 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34. Want to sound fancy. That's a Fibonacci Sequence. Now you know. 

Using this numbering sequence keeps me from getting bogged down trying to decide if a big story is say 8 or 9 points if I were using a 1-10 sequence 

The principle behind this kind of point assignment goes something like this. It's hard to look at Stede and know how tall he/the actor is. But if you look at Stede and Izzy standing together, I roughly know who is taller.

A - Or in this case, I guess the Stede story will be longer than Izzy's story. So Stede= 34, and Izzy=21.

B - Break down the phases of writing and assign them points. 

3 Start writing. At the end of one week, figure out my points completed. Should be a % of the total possible points for that milestone/phase. My method involves a lot of formulas based on 20 years of project mangagement experience. You should just guess. Divide by 7. That's the "build" rate.

Divide the total number of points for the project by the build rate, that's the # of days it will probably take. That seem to long, establish an arbitrary date to finish and divide the number of points by that number of days and that's you're "Management Assigned an Arbitrary Date and I don't know if we can finish, but let's try" rate.

4 Keep writing and editing. Track as you go. Having a much smaller goal each day than "Finish it" to reach each day makes it easier to do. It's also easier than an arbitrary # of words a day, which, shrug, we're not Dickens. We're paid by the kudo, not the word.

Know how I know? I've been working on and off on this for 2 years. Here's what that (roughly) looks based on knowing how long I spent getting 4 of the stories thru writing and first edit by the time I got to March of this year. I file creation to last revision date, but not including the long periods in between writing, and knowing several times I had to remove huge amounts of writing. So, points went away. Sad sound.

That looks like this. 

Brought to you by, I need to finish more points today, but am tired.

When Good Things Are Bad Ideas

(This column is posted at www.StevenSavage.com, Steve's Tumblr, and Pillowfort.  Find out more at my newsletter, and all my social media at my linktr.ee)

In Project Management there’s something called the Iron Triangle or the Project Management Triangle.  A project has to balance between Time, Scope, and Cost to keep up quality.  You can have two the way you want at best, but the third will become unpredictable, unlimitable, or you’ll have to accept some serious changes.

If you want things done your way on time, get ready for it to cost more.  If you want something at a set cost and scope, get ready for time to get a might out of control.  If you want things on time and for a set cost, get ready to reduce your scope.  Play too fast and loose and things will fall apart.

We’re taught that doing things Fast (time), Accurately (Scope), and Cheap (cost).  But those things aren’t always good and can’t always be done together.  We Project Managers remind people of this again and again, often with “I told you so.”

Which leads me to our current crisis in social media where everything is, well, rather dumb.  I have no idea where the hell Twitter is actually going.  Facebook keeps trying new things, but the core experience is kinda ad-filled and unpleasant.  There’s not a lot of innovation out there, and it’s becoming more and more clear we’re the product.

But when you think of the Iron Triangle it all makes sense.  Social Media companies want to have it all ways – making money (cost) do everything to keep people and advertisers (scope) and do it all fast (time).  As people like me constantly remind folks you cannot do this.

Sometimes cheap, effective, and fast are bad ideas.  My job – my own habits – lead me to wanting to be cheap, effective, and fast and I know they’re not always good.

Social media is “free” but the money has to come from somewhere and people invested in it want to make money.  This means the enshitification we’ve seen is near inevitable.  People don’t want to pay, advertisers aren’t always happy, and executives want to make the big bucks.  That may not be sustainable.

Cost is a problem in social media (and that cost isn’t always money).

Social media has to provide some service but there aren’t a lot of new ideas (look at all the Twitter clones), and way too much seems to be well we got used to it.  I’m suspicious that a lot of social media we love now is habit not it’s stuff we actually need.  Throw in companies trying to do everything or anything regardless if it can work or people want it?

What’s the scope for social media?  Hell, who’s the real customer?  The users aren’t exactly unless you charge appropriately and that brings in the cost problem.

Finally, sure social media is efficient in some ways – you do a lot, fast, in a unified interface.  Sure technology lets us deliver features fast.  But is fast good?  Who needs new features we don’t care about?  Is it really vital we be able to reply immediately to someone’s movie opinions?  So we need to do everything from one app that’s also potentially vulnerable?

What’s the real timeframe we need with our social media – if we need social media as we know it now?

Social Media has walked face-first into the Iron Triangle which would normally collapse projects and businesses.  But they got enough of a footprint, did enough right at first that they can keep going, maybe forever.  But at best right now a lot of them are a mix of pet projects and money extraction machines, and maybe lawsuit fodder.

Some of us might even get to say “I told you so.”  Well, more than we have.

My Legal Battle with my Family and their Co-horts / Co-conspirators (32):    

This is an affidavit I wrote in regard to a letter I received from my dad, Leonard Sumter Jr., on or about March 30th, 2016 in which my dad threatened me that if I were to file a lawsuit against Creighton Hussey or his employer QPM (Quality Project Mangement).  My dad stated that he would, himself, or by way of another individual, notify the Fourth District Court in Minneapolis Minnesota or pass along the information to Creighton Hussey so he could notify a peace officer with the intention to bring about a violation of the Harassment Restraining Order filed.  A Harassment Restraining Order that was completely fraudulent and consisted nothing but of perjury and lies.  My dad threatened to take whatever means necessary to keep me in prison to hinder me from taking civil action against he, Creighton or Creighton’s employer.

Vendor Management System Guide

Vendor Management System: Everything You Need to Know

According to a report by Technavio's, Vendor Mangement Software market is projected to experience a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.83% from 2023 to 2028, with an estimated market size expansion of USD 5.34 billion. This growth is attributed to various factors, including the rising uptake of cloud-based vendor management system, the implementation of customer-centric pricing strategies, and the imperative to adhere to regulatory requirements. 

In this blog, we will provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of everything one needs to know about Vendor Management System that can assist organizations in streamlining their procedures and taking the lead in the market. From its fundamental definition to its critical role in optimizing vendor relationships and ensuring operational efficiency, we delve into the key facets that underscore the significance of Vendor Management System in modern business. 

What is a Vendor Management System? 

A vendor management system is a versatile platform designed to assist businesses of all sizes in managing vendor relationships effectively. Serving as a centralized hub, the system allows organizations and vendors to consolidate and store essential data. It provides tools for seamless vendor onboarding, continuous performance monitoring, and ensuring adherence to compliance standards. 

Why do businesses need an effective vendor management system? 

A proficient vendor management system transforms how organizations engage with their vendors. It safeguards confidential vendor information while providing extensive visibility into vendor data and performance. The consistently accurate vendor data serves as a foundation for strategic sourcing and procurement decisions. This user-friendly, comprehensive tool streamlines the onboarding, maintenance, and management of vendors. 

Furthermore, purchase-to-pay solutions meticulously monitor every facet of vendor performance and contractual obligations, encompassing delivery timelines and product/service quality. Automated workflows and rule-based processes guarantee compliance and promptly signal any deviations from policy adherence.  

Here are the key factors driving the demand of an effective vendor management system: 

Cost Challenges: High implementation and maintenance costs associated with on-premises vendor management systems pose a significant obstacle for organizations. 

Preference for Cloud Solutions: Many enterprises are increasingly opting for standalone, cloud-based, and user-friendly vendor management systems to address various challenges, such as on-premises operating costs, data insecurity, user experience challenges, etc. 

Automation Benefits: Cloud-based platforms facilitate the automation and streamlining of vendor relationships, empowering users to control key procurement processes, including self-vendor onboarding, automated purchase orders, invoice generation, three-way matching, and payment processing. 

What essential features should a vendor management system provide? 

For enterprises to prioritize a vendor management system, it would be offering the following essential features. 

Easy vendor onboarding: Manual workflows and human involvement contribute significantly to the sluggishness in vendor onboarding, often resulting in unnecessary delays and oversights. An effective vendor management system streamlines and automates tasks, consolidating the onboarding process in one platform. This eliminates the need to navigate between multiple tools, enhancing collaboration and preventing document versioning issues. 

Smart dashboard: The smart dashboard allows organizations to evaluate vendor performance and generate a report. Beyond the central repository and dashboard, vendor management systems should provide tools for handling various aspects of vendor relationships, including contract creation, payment tracking, and dispute resolution. 

Centralized data management: A vendor management system serves as a comprehensive database for enterprises, housing supplier information such as names, addresses, and contact details, alongside pricing details, volume discounts, and contract specifics. By consolidating this diverse data into a unified hub, the system facilitates collaboration between organizations and vendors. 

Dynamic workflows: Dynamic workflows enable the flexible movement of documents through a process, adapting to changing requirements. By incorporating dynamic routing, organizations can ensure that each document follows a tailored path, enhancing precision and speeding up processes. The ability to define and automate these routes based on established criteria streamlines operations and reduces manual intervention. In essence, dynamic workflows empower organizations to create agile and responsive document processing systems. 

Enhanced collaboration and communication: It is a pivotal advantage of a vendor management platform. In the absence of such a system, procurement executives often grapple with the inefficiencies of email communication, numerous supplier meetings, and document-sharing complexities. A vendor management platform transforms this scenario by providing a centralized hub for collaboration, enabling RFQ/RFP, task delegation, and rapid decision-making through automated notifications and tasks. 

Risk mitigation: Risk mitigation in vendor management software includes strategies and actions equipped to identify, assess, and minimize potential risks associated with third-party vendors. This process is to safeguard an organization from various threats, such as due diligence, contractual protections, compliance management, etc. that could affect its operations, reputation, or compliance with regulations. 

What is a Partner Portal? 

Partner Portal, a cloud-based vendor management system, lets organizations manage their vendors on a centralized platform. The system provides significant features such as easy vendor onboarding, automated procurement process, easy & real-time inventory management, invoice generator, vendor performance management, and many more.
