Effective software project management focuses on the three P’s: people, problem, and process. The order is not arbitrary. The manager who forgets that software engineering work is an intensely human endeavor will never have success in project management. A manager who fails to encourage comprehensive customer communication early in the evolution of a project risks building an elegant solution for the wrong problem. Finally the manager who pays little attention to the process runs the risk of inserting competent technical methods and tools into a vacuum.

Software components are built using a programming language that has a limited vocabulary an explicitly defined grammar and well formed rules of syntax and semantics. At the lowest level the language mirrors the instruction set of the hardware. At mid-level programming languages such as Ada 95, C or Smalltalk are used to create a procedural description of the program. At the highest level the language uses graphical icons or other symbology to represent the requirements for a solution. Executable instructions are automatically generated.

The Object-Relational (OR) model is very similar to the relational model; however, it treats every entity as an object (instance of a class), and a relationship as an inheritance. Some features and benefits of an Object-Relational model are:

• Support for complex, user defined types
• Object inheritance
• Extensible objects

     The incident occurred shortly after midnight, Sunday, October 6, 2013, in a work zone on the outbound (Glenmont direction) track between Union Station and Judiciary Square.
     Contractors and WMATA employees were performing rail renewal, a process that involves removing old sections of rail, installing new sections of rail and related activity such as welding and grinding.
     At approximately 12:03 a.m., there was a fire and loud noise that originated near heavy track equipment used to weld rail sections together into a continuous strip.
     The fire and loud noise originated approximately 70 to 80 feet from the injured workers. The root cause of the fire/noise has not yet been determined. It is not yet known if there was a fluid leak or another mechanical issue.
     The fire was extinguished by workers using a handheld fire extinguisher.
     The incident caused a 40-foot section of rail to move, striking three workers (two WMATA employees and a contractor). It is not yet known what caused the piece of rail to move.
     The two WMATA employees - one track worker and one supervisor - suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries from being struck by the piece of rail. They were transported to local hospitals.
     The contractor, an employee of Holland Co., was fatally injured as a result of being struck by the   piece of rail.

San Francisco Subway TBMs Dig Deep to Overcome Tunnel Challenges
September 4, 2013
By Greg Aragon

     Tunneling 100 ft below a busy city with varying substructure is a delicate job, especially when the work comes .....A.... 8 ft of existing tunnels. Such is the case on San Francisco's new $1.5-billion Central Subway Project, which began major subterranean excavation last month.
     "The tunnels pass through both soft ground and Franciscan formation, which is heterogeneous rock that is not predictable except in its unpredictability," says Sarah Wilson, a San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) resident engineer.
     While underground conditions will be tricky, the project's twin earth-pressure-balance tunnel-boring machines will be able to adjust their blades and cut through any sand, dirt or rock, says Wilson. The TBMs, dubbed Mom Chung and Big Alma, are each 350 ft long and weigh 750 tons.
     Mom Chung was first out of the 450-ft-long launch box. Over the next 10 months, she will travel north, creating a 1.7-mile-long tunnel. Big Alma will begin digging a southbound parallel tunnel later this month.
     The tunnels are the main component of the Central Subway Project, which is extending the Muni Metro T Third Line through one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the U.S. with three new underground stations and one at street level. Work on the line is scheduled to wrap up in 2019.
     To prevent and control ground and adjacent structure settlement, the team will use compensation grouting, in which a horizontal array of grout pipes is installed into a shaft drilled down next to the tunnel alignment. "We are basically preconditioning the ground and making it homogeneous so that there are no surprises for the crossing," says John Funghi, SFMTA program director.
