[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 411279, member: 927"] RUPS: I couldn't agree more about outdated procedures slowing down the processes. I have other observations and questions on the process... The IS management structure seems EXTREMELY top heavy to me. How many levels are there above the actual developer who does the work and what value do they add? You have other processes up front that the district developer doesn't have. You spend endless hours talking about what you are going to develop and producing documents. I was told that the effort up front saves time later. I've never seen that. What % of a development budget is for actual development? When you subtract all the documents, testing, approvals, etc, etc, I'm betting a realtively small % is actually spent writing code??? In the district, code writing is a very high percent of the overall project. I will bet you that if we got rid of the excess layers, and non value added work we could reduce IS cost for a system by 50%. IS has some great people working in a poor process and the districts are paying the price... P-Man [/QUOTE]
