The Royal Frederick University opened in 1813 with a student body of 17 and a teaching staff of 6.

The process of writing this thesis has been challenging, however interesting. We have learned a lot and know to this day that this is an experience we would not be without. We would like to thank Renovasjonsetaten and Sørum, which provided us with some necessary data needed for this thesis and giving us this opportunity. We would also like to give a special thanks to the chauffeur who let us participate on a route, and provided us with a lot of interesting information needed to understand the complexity of the work. The project has been very challenging and we would not have made it without the help of our supervisor Mehdi Sharifyazdi. His competence, guidance, time and insightful feedback have been a huge part of this thesis. At the end we will like to thank our partners and family for good support and positive enthusiasm during the work with this Master Thesis.

  • Arealbruk, Dugnader Og Klima Årsmelding for 2017
    Medlemsblad for Naturvernforbundet i Bærum Nr 1/ 2018 – utgitt i februar Arealbruk, dugnader og klima Årsmelding for 2017 Les også om: Jubileum for vern av Invitasjon til årsmøte Utbygging på tvers Klimastrategi Kolsås-Dælivannområdet Ringeriksbanen MHH BPBR BPBR side 23 side 3 side 6 side 8 side 11 Arealstrategien – naturmangfold, matproduksjon og nedbygging Nytt år er oppsummeringens tid med årsmeldingen som fast innhold i det første nummeret av Nøttekråka. En kort evaluering av arealsakene NiB har jobbet med gjennom året, er at vi har en økende mengde saker som angår omdisponering av førsteklasses dyrkbar matjord og grønne ”ubrukte” områder til boligutbygging. Nedbyggingen av Bærums grønne verdier er ofte omtalt som bit-for- bit nedbygging og effekten er ytterligere redusert jordbrukskapasitet og tap av natur- og opple- velsesverdier. Typiske trekk for bit-for-bit nedbyggingen, er at reguleringsforslagene ikke følger kommunens vedtatte arealplanstrategi og er ofte småskalapreget boligutbygging. Eksempler på slike saker i 2017 er Staversletta på Tanum- platået, Berghoff – Berger gård og Jarenlia ved Skui/Kveise og Østre Jong/Bjørnegård. Arealstrategien som er vedtatt av kommunen er helt tydelig på at boligutbygging skal konsentreres rundt tettsteder og kollektivknutepunkt. Vedtatte hovedutbyggingsretninger er Fornebu, Bekkestua – Høvik og Sandvika. Formålet med å konsentrere boligutbyggingen er tettsteds- og byutvikling, og klimagevinster. Planen er også tydelig på at jord- bruksareal som befinner seg utenfor utbyggingsretningene ikke skal røres. Men tallenes tydelige tale viser at minst 17 % (2015 tall) av boligutbyggingen i Bærum kommune ikke er i tråd med arealstrategien. NiB mener dette er for mye og at trenden må snu. Budskapet og interessen for dette tema kom også tydelig frem i NiBs Åpnet møte i oktober med tema ”Arealplanlegging i kommunen – vinner eller taper natur- og kulturlandskapet? Svaret på spørsmålet var ikke entydig.

Box 134 NO-1325, Lysaker, Norway Telephone: +47 67 88 82 00 Telefax: +47 37 82 82 01 Executive Summary This report provides an overview of the results obtained from a survey on project estimation in Norwegian software companies. The survey was conducted between February and November 2003. The main results are: • We observed that 76% of the projects used more effort than estimated, while 19% used less. The average effort overrun was 41%. • Average effort overrun was 67% in projects with a public client, compared to an average effort overrun of 21% for projects with a private client. • Projects that used an incremental or evolutionary development approach had an average effort overrun of 24%, as opposed to the average 55% overrun for projects that used a waterfall-based development approach. The frequency and magnitude of effort overruns found in this survey seems to be similar to results reported from surveys conducted in other countries in the past 20 years. The observed differences in effort overruns between private and public projects may be caused by differences in bidding procedures, level of client involvement or acceptance procedures. In order to reduce the risk of effort overruns, software companies should: • Focus on analyzing their own estimation performance, and invest in estimation improvement (for instance through experience databases or work breakdown structures).
