We’re All (Not)\u00a0 Going on a Summer Holiday<\/h2>\n
\"Based<\/a>
Staycation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s been another strange Summer break this year. We hope you have managed to take a few days to recharge your batteries whether a Vacation, Staycation, Backyardcation. The last 18 months or so have shown what is possible with remote working. We trust with WebAccess, VPN connections, Remote Desktop Access, or SaaS you have been able to continue with your projects in Cradle.<\/p>\n

There has been a lot of debate over the advantages and disadvantages of working from home. On one hand you can “just finish” something without needing to leave for a bus or train, on the other hand some of the social interaction and coffee table discussions are missing over video conference. With your computer sat on a desk at home there may be more of a temptation or expectation to sign on ‘outside hours’ to answer emails.<\/p>\n

So whilst we are pleased you are reading this August 2021 newsletter,\u00a0 it is important to remember whatever type of break you take, (a change is as good as a rest) it is important to have time away and to refocus on your return. 3SL is happy to advise on flexible configurations of your installation to keep you up to speed wherever and however you continue to work<\/p>\n

\"Cradle<\/a>
Split Done<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Keeping your requirements SMART<\/a> (S<\/strong>pecific, M<\/strong>easurable, A<\/strong>ttainable, R<\/strong>ealisable, T<\/strong>raceable) can easily become nubilous, insufficiently Specific<\/em>. This can often be resolved by splitting the requirement statement from “The product will do this and that”<\/em> into two clear statements “The product shall do this”<\/em> and “The product shall do that”. <\/em>Cradle’s split feature allows blocks of information to be split into multiple items, each cross referenced to their common source. These new elements are then Specific<\/em>, and the linking allows them to be fully Traceable<\/em>.
