The Top 10 Ways to Kill an SPE Initiative
Over the years, we have observed many organizations that have tried to adopt SPE. All of these organizations were of the opinion that SPE was beneficial and would help them overcome their problems with software performance. Some were successful; others were not. There are many mistakes that can lead to failure. In our experience, many of them occur over and over. From that experience, we compiled our candidates for the top 10 ways to fail in an SPE initiative. Learn to avoid common pitfalls that can sabotage your SPE effort.
Each month we will cover an additional item in the top ten.

New SPE Discussion Group
There is a new discussion group about SPE and related topics of interest:
http://groups.google.com/group/software-performance-engineering
- There is a "page" for adding organizations that have an SPE initiative.
- There is a discussion about funding requirements.
We would like to see your input to these and other discussions.
Some of you may remember the previous SPE group on Yahoo. It got totally out of control – members received a great deal of Spam from it, and eventually most of us unsubscribed. To prevent that from happening to this group, we have set it up so that new posts from members must be approved before they will appear. This is an inconvenience, sorry, but will help us prevent the problems that happened to the previous group. In fact, we have already blocked a few inappropriate spams. So when you post, be patient – your message won't appear immediately. If you would like to volunteer to assist in monitoring new posts, to speed up the posting, please let us know.
You need to create a google account then sign up for the group. You have the option of receiving email or not whenever a new post appears. I find the "digest email" option useful - you periodically get a summary of everything that is new.
This is your forum for SPE information exchange, so please contribute.
