Mission planning has come a long way from the days of the Wright brothers first flight in 1903. Today, mission planning has grown into an activity as complex as the machines that carry out the missions. No longer a luxury, automated mission planning systems are vital to the success of current and future air operations. The history of automated mission planning development has been a chaotic combination of official systems and grassroots stovepipes. The Air Force has always leaned towards Unix based mission planning systems, but recent growth in the microprocessor industry has made personal computers a viable option. The Air Force's continued emphasis on Unix based mission planning systems designed to do everything for everyone has created a bottleneck which may become a critical failure point when examined in light of increasing mission planning requirements. This paper relies on up to date information obtained through interviews and recent publications to analyze this bottleneck from the perspective of F-16 mission planning. As F-16 mission planning requirements grew through the early 1980's, early mission planning systems progressed along two paths. The larger effort was in the large Unix based systems, which were generally better funded and large scoped projects. The second path was personal computer (PC) based systems, and while smaller in every sense has always been the preferred path by the users. Currently, two members of the Air Force Mission Support System (AFMSS) family dominate mission planning: the Unix based Mission Planning System (MPS) and the PC based Portable Flight Planning Software (PFPS). The size, cost, usability, and portability of the MPS systems have created a bottleneck that threatens the future of mission planning unless a new direction is taken. This new direction must feature heavier use of PC systems, with emphasis on integrated products as opposed to one master mission planner that attempts to fulfill everyone's needs.

Militaries with state-of-the-art information technology sometimes bog down in confusing conflicts. To understand why, it is important to understand the micro-foundations of military power in the information age, and this is exactly what Jon R. Lindsay's Information Technology and Military Power gives us. As Lindsay shows, digital systems now mediate almost every effort to gather, store, display, analyze, and communicate information in military organizations. He highlights how personnel now struggle with their own information systems as much as with the enemy. Throughout this foray into networked technology in military operations, we see how information practice—the ways in which practitioners use technology in actual operations—shapes the effectiveness of military performance. The quality of information practice depends on the interaction between strategic problems and organizational solutions. Information Technology and Military Power explores information practice through a series of detailed historical cases and ethnographic studies of military organizations at war. Lindsay explains why the US military, despite all its technological advantages, has struggled for so long in unconventional conflicts against weaker adversaries. This same perspective suggests that the US retains important advantages against advanced competitors like China that are less prepared to cope with the complexity of information systems in wartime. Lindsay argues convincingly that a better understanding of how personnel actually use technology can inform the design of command and control, improve the net assessment of military power, and promote reforms to improve military performance. Warfighting problems and technical solutions keep on changing, but information practice is always stuck in between.

This pocket guide is the one book to read for everyone who wants to learn about Scrum. The book covers all roles, rules and the main principles underpinning Scrum, and is based on the Scrum Guide Edition 2013. A broader context to this fundamental description of Scrum is given by describing the past and the future of Scrum. The author, Gunther Verheyen, has created a concise, yet complete and passionate reference about Scrum. The book demonstrates his core view that Scrum is about a journey, a journey of discovery and fun. He designed the book to be a helpful guide on that journey. Ken Schwaber, Scrum co-creator says that this book currently is the best available description of Scrum around. The book combines some rare characteristics: • It describes Scrum in its entirety, yet places it in a broader context (of past and future). • The author focuses on the subject, Scrum, in a way that it truly supports the reader. The book has a language and style in line with the philosophy of Scrum. • The book shows the playfulness of Scrum. David Starr and Ralph Jocham, Professional Scrum trainers and early agile adopters, say that this is the ultimate book to be advised as follow-up book to the students they teach Scrum to and to teams and managers of organizations that they coach Scrum to.
