AQ: Many archaeologists learn by trial and error while developing public programs and events and are mostly unaware that others in the profession are undergoing the same challenges.

Organizations pour vast resources into building new products and services. Yet, too many new offerings are poorly conceived, don't delight (or even satisfy) customers, and fail in the marketplace. More effective product ownership and product management can keep that from happening to you. Now, there's an expert guide to world-class agile product development, reflecting deep in-the-trenches experience from two renowned product innovation experts and Scrum consultants. Chris Lukassen and Robbin Schuurman introduce powerful behaviors, tools, concepts, and skills for delivering superior products and services, and avoiding pitfalls that keep you from understanding what customers really need and want. You'll learn how to make crucial decisions based on better insights, not anecdotal or subjective second-hand information; and optimize roles including product owner, customer representative, visionary, experimenter, decision-maker, collaborator, and influencer. The authors teach through a start

A framework for understanding the totality of costs and benefits of universal access that will foster honest appraisal and guide the development of good policies.Universal access―the idea that certain technologies and services should be extended to all regardless of geography or ability to pay―evokes ideals of democracy and equality that must be reconciled with the realities on the ground. The COVID-19 pandemic raised awareness of the need for access to high-speed internet service in the United States, but this is just the latest in a long history of debates about what should be made available and to whom. Rural mail delivery, electrification, telephone service, public schooling, and library access each raised the same questions as today’s debates about health care and broadband. What types of services should be universally available? Who benefits from extending these services? And who bears the cost? Stepping beyond humanitarian arguments to conduct a clear-eyed, diagnostic analysis,

The first collection of Leibniz’s key writings on the binary system, newly translated, with many previously unpublished in any language.The polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716) is known for his independent invention of the calculus in 1675. Another major―although less studied―mathematical contribution by Leibniz is his invention of binary arithmetic, the representational basis for today’s digital computing. This book offers the first collection of Leibniz’s most important writings on the binary system, all newly translated by the authors with many previously unpublished in any language. Taken together, these thirty-two texts tell the story of binary as Leibniz conceived it, from his first youthful writings on the subject to the mature development and publication of the binary system. As befits a scholarly edition, Strickland and Lewis have not only returned to Leibniz’s original manuscripts in preparing their translations, but also provided full critical apparatus. In additio

It provides an opportunity to answer tough questions of yourself, process your own life lessons, reflect on your unique experiences, and create your best future self. This process of self-discovery will help you develop individuali

Client money is the source of the majority of disciplinary prosecutions for solicitors and other legal professionals; it is also the primary concern of the money laundering legislative framework, including the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. Without money involved there would be limited concern about money laundering in a legal transaction. However our focus is often client identity.This book takes a new angle by de-mystifying client money, and presenting the rules, requirements, and anti-money laundering context of client money in an easy-to-understand guide. The book also encompasses diagrams, worked examples, and a section of previous training materials for the reader to use as continuous professional development.
