Planning & Scheduling of Commercial Building using Microsoft Project & Applic...IRJET Journal
This document discusses planning and scheduling of a commercial building construction project using Microsoft Project and applying principles of the Theory of Constraints to improve efficiency. It provides background on the Theory of Constraints and Critical Chain Project Management, which aims to identify and manage constraints. The document then summarizes how these principles were applied to the scheduling and buffer management of a commercial building project in Microsoft Project to help complete it on time by accounting for uncertainties and limiting impacts of changes. Key aspects included identifying the schedule as a core constraint, using Critical Chain Project Management to determine the critical path, and inserting different types of buffers (project, feeding, resource) into the schedule to protect against delays.
Earned Value Management involves more that just cost and schedule. Six Business Systems, including EVM, are the basis of credible program performance management.
Here's a suggestion of how to "connect the dots."

This document discusses the significance and uses of S-curves in project management. It begins by defining an S-curve as a graph that tracks project metrics like cost, hours, or deliverables against time. It then describes the different types of S-curves including target, cost, hours, baseline, and actual curves. Finally, it outlines several ways S-curves can help interpret a project's health, such as evaluating progress, forecasting cash flow, comparing outputs to plans, and determining growth or slippage from the baseline.

13 0709 webinar q & a business model canvas and launch pad centralCleantechOpen
This document summarizes questions and answers from two Q&A sessions on the Business Model Canvas and LaunchPad Central. In the first session, questions focused on addressing undervalued markets, managing demand that outstrips supply, intellectual property strategies, and approaches for capital-intensive high-demand products. The second session addressed concerns about confidentiality in LaunchPad Central, when to use customer interviews vs comments, how many interviews are needed to invalidate a hypothesis, strategies for reaching target customers, login issues, and approaches for customers without a prototype.
The document summarizes questions and answers from two webinar sessions - one on attracting top talent as a startup and allocating equity, and another on working with utilities. For attracting talent, it is suggested to leverage one's vision and include potential hires as co-founders. When allocating equity, there is no generic guideline and it depends on each company and business case, aiming to be fair. For working with utilities, they are interested in automation and information technologies. Demonstration results may be shared between utilities through groups like the Consortium for Energy Efficiency. National Grid in Massachusetts is a contact for more information on combined heat and power programs.
This document outlines the agenda for a webinar on technology and product validation hosted by Cleantech Open. The webinar covers defining technology and value creation, technology validation through intellectual property development and third-party validation, product validation with prototypes and assessing product economics, and preparing technologies and products for manufacturing and scaling. It provides worksheets and judging criteria for technology and product validation. The webinar instructs participants to focus on validating their technologies and products through customer discovery, prototypes, and third-party organizations over the coming weeks.
The document summarizes a webinar session about working with utilities. It provides details about three speakers from major utilities: Mananya Chansanchai from PG&E, Robyn Zander from SCE, and Tom Coughlin from National Grid. The webinar covered various utility programs and opportunities for emerging clean technologies to engage with utilities, including submitting technologies for consideration, useful information to provide, and testing programs.
This document summarizes a webinar presented as part of the Cleantech Open program. The webinar focused on concepts related to executing business plans and developing an effective core team. It discussed how to identify skill gaps on the current team and how to attract new members to fill those gaps. It also explained how business models and customer needs should drive organizational processes and determine the skills required on the team. The webinar provided examples of management team resumes and discussed how to evaluate if a team has the right skills and experience to achieve 18-month milestones.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
