It concludes by thanking the reader.
How To Multiply Your Time
There is no such a thing like time management. Time management can be achieved through developing tools & technology, prioritizing tasks. Multiply time by doing significance calculations based on factors Eliminate, Automate, Delegate.
As your business develops your processes evolve but not always in a good way. As a result you can lose valuable time doing things that will be replicated by staff as the business grows. Think - Stop and Simplify.
This document outlines business development services including supporting management teams, projects, individuals, and software for effective leadership. Services offered include pilot projects to measure needs, collect data and map processes. Education is provided on-site or remotely on topics like lean management and balanced scorecards.

Agile and Traditional Project Management Homogeneous or Hybrid Mike Otranto
Gartner reports that 75% to 80% of organizations are using some form of agile project management process. Although agile project management has been around for many years, the way we adapt it has changed significantly, especially as project portfolio management (PPM) practices have evolved.
In today's businesses, technology plays a crucial role in our success, but technology also makes things more uncertain. This uncertainty has given us the motive to be more flexible and requires a “think on your feet” mentality. For this reason, we have seen a big spike in Agile PPM over the last few years. So how do we continue to deliver stability and efficiency, the result of traditional style PPM, while also giving in to necessary risks that lead to innovation and competitive edge? It’s simple…. we accept the value in each method, avoid the inevitable pains that will develop with segregation, and opt for a unified agile and traditional PPM model.
Join us in this webinar presentation as we discuss the benefits of bringing Agile and Traditional Project Portfolio Management together in one environment. Topics include:
- The Project Management Evolution
- Agile Project Managment Overview
- The Benefits of Hybrid/Unified PPM
- Hybrid Project Management Tools to Support Today’s PPM

In Data Engineer’s Lunch #89: Machine Learning Orchestration with Airflow, we discussed using Apache Airflow to manage and schedule machine learning tasks. By following the best practices of ML Ops, teams can streamline their ML workflows and build scalable, efficient, and accurate models that deliver real-world business value. Properly implemented ML Ops can help organizations stay ahead of the curve and achieve their goals in the fast-paced world of machine learning. Apache Airflow is an open-source tool for scheduling and automating workflows. Airflow allows you to define workflows in Python, with tasks defined as Python functions that can include Operators for all sorts of external tools. This makes it easy to automate repeated processes and define dependencies between tasks, creating directed-acyclic-graphs of tasks that can be scheduled using cron syntax or frequency tasks. Airflow also features a user-friendly UI for monitoring task progress and viewing logs, giving you greater control over your data pipeline.

Data Engineer's Lunch #86: Building Real-Time Applications at Scale: A Case S...Anant Corporation
As the demand for real-time data processing continues to grow, so too do the challenges associated with building production-ready applications that can handle large volumes of data and handle it quickly. In this talk, we will explore common problems faced when building real-time applications at scale, with a focus on a specific use case: detecting and responding to cyclist crashes. Using telemetry data collected from a fitness app, we’ll demonstrate how we used a combination of Apache Kafka and Python-based microservices running on Kubernetes to build a pipeline for processing and analyzing this data in real-time. We'll also discuss how we used machine learning techniques to build a model for detecting collisions and how we implemented notifications to alert family members of a crash. Our ultimate goal is to help you navigate the challenges that come with building data-intensive, real-time applications that use ML models. By showcasing a real-world example, we aim to provide practical solutions and insights that you can apply to your own projects.
Key takeaways:
An understanding of the common challenges faced when building real-time applications at scale
Strategies for using Apache Kafka and Python-based microservices to process and analyze data in real-time
Tips for implementing machine learning models in a real-time application

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
