The document discusses how configuration management (CM) helps projects innovate and communicate. It compares project management and CM processes, and describes traditional CM versus CM II approaches. It also outlines two project management models - Kepner-Tregoe and Deming's Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle. CM expands on these models by managing both requirements definition and physical project tasks in synchronized cycles. The document argues that CM helps address common problems that cause project failures, such as poor communication, requirements, documentation, and change control. CM is positioned to support the entire project management process.
This study concentrates on an important mathematical project management technique “Earned Value Management” in order to highlight these necessary technical skills. In the first part we give necessary concepts about project management. In the following parts we highlight methods for management of two important project constraints “time” and “cost”. “Earned Value Management” technique is highlighted in the final part.
KPI Partners E-Book: The Project Analytics FrameworkKPI Partners
This e-book discusses the goals and objectives of project-based analytics.
There is a saying that if it cannot be measured, it cannot be managed. Traditionally, projects have used schedules and budgets to monitor progress. This only provides part of the answer. It does not address other variables.
Just because a project comes in on time and on budget does not mean it is a success. The deliverables may be of poor quality, and there may be dozens of outstanding issues. A much broader view is required to insure a project’s ultimate success.
The Project Analytics framework presented in this e-book details the elements of a complete project analytics framework and how Oracle Project Analytics meets the needs of this framework.
"The primary goal of a Project Analytics system is to help project stakeholders meet project objectives in an optimized manner while honoring the project constraints."
History shows that projects that are carefully managed, large or small, are considered most successful both in the short and the long term. Project Analytics systems help manage projects in almost all cases.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.

CM process encompasses:
“There is an increasingly important
• Information accessibility need for speed in project delivery
• Information integrity and the equally important need for
reliability in delivering the project
• Properly structured baselines (product) as promised.”
• Naming and numbering convention
-PMI 1999, Frank Patrick
• Traceability
• Metrics
• Interchangeability
• Recording and reporting information
• Assuring conformance to requirements

KT® PM process is divided into:
Project Definition

Project Communication coordinates all

INNOVATE AND COMMUNICATE
Project Management can take a simple approach as the
Deming (Shewhart)® Cycle (also called the PDC/SA model)
W. Edwards Deming proposed
processes that continuously
analyze and measure product
variations to identify any deviation
from customer requirements.
The Plan-Do-Check(or Study)-Act
(PDC/SA) continuous feedback
loop allows managers to identify
and change the parts of the
process that need improvement.
CM expands Deming’s single loop cycle into...

….. A dual cycle of the Deming (Shewhart)® Cycle
CM sees the PDC/SA cycle as a
dual process with one cycle
for requirements definition
in concert with the other
cycle on the as-planned
physical items (project
tasks).
Each cycle is interdependent
and must be synchronized.
But no plan or process is executed without issues or problems.

But might these problems be a result and not
the causative factors? Perhaps the underlying
causes might really be –
Poor communication among leadership,
stakeholders, and staff
Given various models and processes for
Project Management, what are the most Poor (or incomplete) project requirements
pressing problems inherent with every
project?
No change control process
• Cost overrides
• Late delivery of goods/supplies/
product Poor documentation or data management
• Late completion of task along the
critical path
Lack of resources or mismatched skills

Whatever PM tool model is used, CM can positively impact a
project’s success.
Project performance (schedule, quality, and
cost) can be no better than the ability to
communicate requirements which, in turn, is
no better than the CM process to
communicate project decisions and the
correct requirements.
