    Bring Your Own Device Best Practices 2024

    When iOS and Android smartphones were widely available in the late 2000s, bringing your own device for work-related tasks became popular. Employees generally favored their devices over those issued by the company, because it was simpler not to carry two devices. This trend drove companies to develop rules and regulations to control the practice.

    Organizational Change Management Best Practices 2024

    The pace of change in many companies is increasing as new technologies allow businesses to serve customers faster, better, and cost-effectively. In most industries, therefore, new systems are essential to compete in today’s global economy. Still, some companies fall behind in formal and consistent practice of change management best practices. These best practices can help them leverage these new systems more effectively.

    Encryption Best Practices 2024

    Encryption best practices protect sensitive or confidential information, both in storage and in transit. Data encryption software and algorithms translate data into another form or code so that only those with access to a secret key—a decryption key—can read it. Banking details, health records, financial information, or other sensitive personal information must be encrypted so it cannot be intercepted, accessed, or read.

    Disaster Recovery Planning Best Practices 2024

    In 2021, a ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline, a major fuel supplier in the US, forced the company to shut down operations for several days. This resulted in gasoline shortages and price hikes on the East Coast. Several airline companies in Britain experienced major IT failures in 2023, which resulted in thousands of canceled flights and an estimated $128 million in lost revenue. As these and numerous other examples show, the business impact of a disaster affecting the IT function can be enormous. The ability to recover information systems and data quickly and effectively after a disaster, cyberattack, or system failure should be an organizational priority. However, not many companies are consistently planning for disaster recovery.

    Project Management Office Best Practices 2023

    To improve project success, companies often establish a formal project management office (PMO) as a center of excellence for project management disciplines. In some organizations, the PMO operates as an advisory group to project managers, who report directly to business units. In other organizations, project managers report directly to the PMO and are assigned to projects as needed. However, in recent years, the use of PMOs has grown significantly, especially for organizations that use them for all projects.

    Development operations (DevOps) is an organizational model that promotes collaboration between software developers and IT operations. The model allows for frequent deployment of systemic changes and includes a use for automation. DevOps is a natural extension of agile development into the deployment and operational phases of the systems life cycle. Just as agile development builds software in small, iterative build cycles, DevOps applies enhancements as small incremental changes committed daily, hourly, or even moment-by-moment into the production system.
