Overview
The effectiveness of a biometric technology is dependent upon how well users interact with the system. Therefore careful steps must be taken to address user concerns, including designing a simple to use system and explaining to the user why the biometric is being tested. A pilot is an effective way of discovering the potential problems likely to be encountered when implementing a biometric by providing an opportunity to gather valuable data on a small scale.

When deploying new software configuration management (SCM) tools, implementers sometimes focus on perfecting fine-grained activities, while unwittingly carrying forward poor, large-scale practices from their previous jobs or tools. The result is a well-executed blunder. This paper promotes some high-level best practices that reflect the authors' experiences in deploying SCM.
