Y2K / Project Management’s Role In Averting "The
Millennium Bug" : 50 pages worth of in-depth research. The
Millennium Bug is the Year 2000 glitch in nearly all large
computer systems currently in operation. As a model of total
logic, those computer systems that use only the last two
digits of the year in their date fields will not be able to place
"00" following "99" at the turn of the century when 1999
ends and the year 2000 begins. Though massive
programming and testing efforts are underway worldwide,
there are still some who refuse to believe that the glitch will
present any real problem. The US government expects to
spend nearly $2.3 billion on rectifying the problem within
governmental systems; cost estimate to the private sector is
between $300 billion and $600 billion before January 1,
2000. Bibliography lists 32 sources. Projmana.wps

Y2K / What Does It All Mean? : 21 pages in length. It has
been the center of concern and conversation for years; the
buzz it has created is unprecedented. For an outsider to
assess the situation, one would have no doubt that the world
was truly going to come to an end at precisely midnight,
January 1, 2000. What is all the furor surrounding this
particular date? In a word: Y2K. All throughout the 1990's --
and even earlier than that -- the world's businesses and
governments have been focused upon the very possible
shutdown of all computerized systems when the new
millennium arrives. It seems quite illogical that the mere
changing of a year can instigate such a momentous situation;
however, as the century is finally coming to a close, people
are beginning to realize that there is more than just a little bit
of truth to the impending crash. The writer discusses a wide
range of topics in relation to the Y2K bug, with particular
emphasis upon the banking industry. Bibliography lists 20

Y2K / Year 2000 / Crisis & Management : A 10 page
overview of the predicted computer/communications
apocalypse and management techniques. The author
concentrates on two areas of concern, date coding and the
introduction of viruses based on the millenium and other
biases. However, the larger view is taken of "mainstream"
date coding problems, and considers audit cases and costs.
Mitigation focuses on internal and global management of the
problem. Bibliography lists 15 sources. Y2kcris.wps

Y2K / Can The Y2K Problem Be Solved In Time? : 10 pages
in length. Time has run out. No longer can the world sit idly
by in a false sense of security believing that the Y2K
problem will be solved prior to reaching midnight on January
1, 2000. Despite intensive displays of technical modification,
it can be argued that mankind waited just a bit too long
before he truly realized the ramifications of not paying closer
attention to the Year 2000 bug. Now that the new
millennium is merely months away, the writer discusses the
last ditch effort being made on behalf of all the computer
systems still out there in circulation that have not been made
Year 2000 compliant -- and how many of those are systems
that control the very commodities people need to exist.
