There is a strong sense of optimism, energy, and enthusiasm in and around the program, which creates a positive momentum. People are attracted to a Rising Program, expectations are high, and the outlook Is favorable as the program continues to Improve. 2. Elite Program An Elite Program is one that has a realistic chance to compete for and win conference, state, and/or national championships virtually every year. Usually led by a credible and passionate leader who has mastered the Seven Secrets of Successful Coaches we describe in our book. N Elite Program is well-developed on many levels, has a strong pipeline of talent, and a well-defined culture of success that attracts athletes, coaches, and support staff with like-minded goals. The Elite Program knows exactly what It stands for and recruits and rewards people accordingly, 3. Palliating A Palliating Program is one that seems to be stuck at a certain level. This program typically attains a consistent moderate to mediocre level of success, but can’t seem to ascend beyond it.
Palliating Programs tend to hover in this similar success range year after year but struggle to breakthrough to the next level. There may be a variety of reasons why the program has leveled off- but many can likely be traced to the talent level of the athletes, their lack of development within the program, as well as he overall leadership limitations of the coaching staff. Over time the same issues resurface and tend to hold down the program. Thus, the challenges either must be addressed internally by making some meaningful changes and improvements.
Or the situation can be solved externally by upgrading to a more talented and credible leader who has the skills to help the program breakthrough to the next level. 4. Decaling Program The Declining Program Is one that Is struggling and the results and the record show it. The losses mount over time and likely take their toll on the coaches, athletes, administrators, parents, and fans. Most often the slide is gradual as the program fades slowly out of contention. Other times the fall is precipitous like dropping off a cliff.
Whatever the case, there is almost always a certain frustration surrounding the program. This leads many to bemoan the problems and blame those who they think are responsible for them, usually the leaders A Problematic Program is one that is highly dysfunctional and often in total disarray. This could occur for a variety of reasons including an overbearing or overwhelmed coach, athletes with dubious character, double standards within the team, little immunization, mind games, meddling parents… The list goes on and on.
Software is a valuable tool for gathering, manipulating and processing information, but it’s not always designed to do exactly what you’d like. We often find, most notably in the case of particularly specialized tasks, that we use programs designed to cover a great many needs for things that don’t necessarily benefit from such an arsenal of functions. In fact, this can easily lead to certain interfaces feeling a bit unwieldy as the desired features may be hidden beneath multiple layers of panels, tabs and drop-down menus.
Sometimes it is desirable to start over from scratch, designing a new program to perform only what needs to be done, and, in doing so, provide a much more efficient interaction between the user and the information involved. The thing to remember at this point is that programming is a method employed to solve a problem. The first step then should be to define that problem. So often people fail to take the necessary time to evaluate their need for custom software.
Is it really something that will make a difference? If so, will the difference be worth the effort of development? If it is worth doing, then it is worth doing right. Take the time to fully understand your needs. Know what you have to work with, and know what the outcome needs to be. If you don’t have all the information, or if you don’t have a solid grasp of the logical path between information and results, then you won’t be able to tell the programmer what you need.
If you can’t tell him what you need, he’ll either do what you do tell him, or he’ll be forced to speculate in order to fill in the blanks. In either of those cases, things will have a good chance of going awry, and you’ll be up to your neck in bug ports and project alterations before you know it. Figure out what information is provided before the program comes into play. Some may be from customer submissions on a website, some from existing databases within your company, or perhaps it is stored by a web-based service.
Identifying the preexisting information sources is important, because it will determine how the program receives that information. Determine the intended goal of the program. It may automate parts or all of a process you already have in place. It could provide analysis that was too time addable format, or convert it from one information system to another, in order to create a link between them. Designing a solution Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer programs to create two- or three-dimensional (AD or AD) graphical representations of physical objects.
CAD software may be specialized for specific applications. CAD is widely used for computer animation and special effects in movies, advertising, and other applications where the graphic design itself is the finished product. CAD is also used to design physical products in a wide range of industries, where the software performs ululations for determining an optimum shape and size for a variety of product and industrial design applications. N product and industrial design, CAD is used mainly for the creation of detailed AD solid or surface models, or AD vector-based drawings of physical components. However, CAD is also used throughout the engineering process from conceptual design and layout of products, through strength and dynamic analysis of assemblies, to the definition of manufacturing methods. This allows an engineer to both interactively and automatically analyze design variants, to mind the optimal design for manufacturing while minimizing the use of physical prototypes.
Benefits of CAD-The benefits of CAD include lower product development costs, increased productivity, improved product quality and faster time-to- market. Better visualization of the final product, sub-assemblies and constituent parts in a CAD system speeds the design process. CAD software offers greater accuracy, so errors are reduced. A CAD system provides easier, more robust documentation of the design, including geometries and dimensions, bills of materials, etc. CAD software offers easy re-use of design data and best practices.
