How the LGPL applies to Java
"With limited consistent information on how we were delivering our services to them we had a challenging role to say the least. Although there were basic processes in place and we collected the statutory PIs along with selected local indicators, there were no standard procedures for monitoring and reporting on Performance and no measured way of being able to compare data in a meaningful and consistent format. Only fragmented information was available and action and risk planning was done by each department in an inconsistent manner, making it time consuming and complicated to produce overall corporate performance information. Fortunately we had the budget to implement a PM software solution, and even though some managers in the organisation were initially wary of expenditure it what was perceived to be an "IT project", the results and changed reactions speak for themselves."
— Kevin Douglas, Executive Director, Department of Corporate Policy, Harrogate Borough Council
