English term

shot-gunning

English to Portuguese Tech/Engineering Management Project Management
. The basic idea, often cynically referred to as "shot-gunning," is illustrated in Figure 7-1. If this is done properly, a specification can be reviewed and considered spec-complete on time, even though there are still unresolved design issues. Shot-gunning does introduce risk: you are estimating how well the team will resolve remaining issues, instead of waiting for the team to actually resolve them all.

many references below show that "shot-gunning" is not "tiro no escuro"
Gisele Goldstein Feb 23, 2007:
Oi T, tem como você explicar a figura?
Eu achei shot-gunning como sendo colaborative learning (Também pode ser um método de beber cerveja fazendo um furo do lado da lata, mas acho que este não ser aplicaria...;)). Mas queria entender o design primeiro pra ver se faz sentido....

"tiro no escuro"

Shotgunning
"Shotgunning" is a commonly-used cold reading technique, allegedly used by purported television psychics and spiritual mediums: Edgar Cayce, Sylvia Browne, James Van Praagh, Colin Fry and John Edward in particular have all been accused by experts and skeptics of using shotgunning techniques in their stage and television shows. The psychic or reader quickly offers a huge quantity of very general information, often to an entire audience (some of which is very likely to be correct, near correct or at the very least, provocative or evocative to someone present), observes their subjects' reactions (especially their body language), and then narrows the scope, acknowledging particular people or concepts and refining the original statements according to those reactions to promote an emotional response.

***This technique is named after a shotgun, as it fires a spray of small projectiles in the hope that one or more of the shots will strike the target. A majority of people in a room will, at some point for example, have lost an older relative or known at least one person with a common name like "Mike" or "John".***

Pelo que entendi do seu texto, Teresa, acho que essa definição acima se aplicaria bem. Talvez até deixasse o (shot-gunning) depois da tradução: "tiro no escuro" (shot-gunning).

encaminhamento paralelo

ARB Security Solutions -- SharePoint Security -- Item Level ...Encompassing certain documents and tasks within a defined and standardized ... This can be routed in multiple ways, through serial, where a document goes one by one through a workflow route or through a parallel (also known as shot gunning), where the approval is sent to multiple parties or signoff after an event is tripped. Assume that there is a sales document that has to go through multiple parties, originating at the sales department, but going through the graphics department for design, marketing department for corporate conformity checks, financial department for verification of metrics and statistics of the document, and finally getting executive sign off before the document goes production. This is an example of a serial route, where the document will be routed to each department in a single step fashion, getting sign of until it reaches executive management where the final threshold of the workflow is satisfied and the cycle ends.

During this session the executive is tasked to list the “I want” to accomplish for himself and the staff within the next year. The executive is encouraged to “shotgun” his ideas for the organization regardless of how unrealistic they may be. At this point, Pareto’s 80/20 Rule is introduced. Expressed in a management context, 20% of a person's effort generates 80% of the person's results. The corollary to this is that 20% of one's results absorb 80% of one's resources or efforts. For the effective use of resources, the manager's challenge is to distinguish the right 20% from the trivial many.”

A fast shotgun assembly heuristic
We report the results of our fast heuristic implementation for reassembling DNA fragments based on a unique approach to the problem called, "A Structured Pattern Matching Approach to Shotgun Sequence Assembly",

A. (by Allen L. Wyatt) Thank you for sending the materials so I could look at them. They are the normal "shotgun approach" that we see among many anti-Mormons. They take everything they can, load it into a series of documents, and then fling it at people hoping that something will stick. The documents you received cover Joseph Smith, prophets, grace vs. works, the Book of Mormon, the endowment, blacks and the priesthood, racism, the First Vision, polygamy, the place of faith, whitewashing history, scholarship and the Church, the endowment, unrighteous dominion, etc.

It is virtually impossible to respond to shotgun tactics, because as soon as you deal with one item, the critic says "Oh, yeah? Well, what about this item?" And so it goes, in rather fruitless discussion. (There are "ministries" devoted to doing nothing more than finding fault with the Church. They don't preach Jesus; they preach the falsity of The Church of Jesus Christ, and produced these shotgun materials for use in public venues, such as the temple open house.)

"When you narrow the problem down to three or four transisters, shotgun em!".

Those words were spoken by my electronics trainer at Pacific Stereo. Knowing absolutely nothing about the process of troubleshooting, I simply took him at his word and did exactly what he said. That was one of the things that, over time, made me one of the fastest techs in the Pacific Stereo's Chicago region.

If you haven't heard the term before, shotgunning is the act of replacing multiple components, even though only one is the root cause. The purpose of shotgunning is economic.

Q: How many award categories can an individual or company enter in any given year?

A: As stated above, entrants are limited to two categories per year. We found that the contest becomes unmanageable if we allow entrants to shotgun the process.

The shotgun method
Broadcast your MP (marketing package) to all schools and recruiting organization in the target area or several target areas. This is definitely the most reliable method to securing a job if you are flexible about location and can handle the workload.

How to shotgun:
Go to the Overseas Schools Directory (TEFL Section) and use the contact information to broadcast your M.P.
