This document discusses the importance of upfront planning when undertaking a building or renovation project. It states that the #1 costly mistake people make is not completing the project on time and on budget due to a lack of planning. It recommends completing a Needs and Options Review as the most important first step. This review establishes the project needs and all viable design options, ensuring legal requirements are met and the budget is sufficient before proceeding to later stages like drawings, bidding, and construction where changes are much more expensive. By taking the time for thorough upfront planning through a Needs and Options Review, a successful project can be built on a solid foundation.

The document provides 5 steps for efficiently delivering e-commerce projects: 1) Know the client's priorities for scope, cost, quality, and time; 2) Prioritize requirements using the MoSCoW method; 3) Use a waterfall approach for predictable projects or an agile approach for unpredictable projects; 4) Create rough wireframes and start design/development without waiting; 5) User test after each iteration and think ahead. The end.
Question 7
I have learned several skills in progressing from my preliminary task to the full product. Specifically, I have learned how to edit videos and use special effects in Final Cut Pro. I have also gained experience with displaying my work professionally in PowerPoint. Through the process, I discovered the effectiveness of using a "home video" style and different camera angles. However, there were some minor issues with glitches and errors that will help me improve future products. Overall, I now have a better understanding of how to create higher quality work.
Self Evaluation
The document is a self-evaluation by Erika Louise Tolputt of a project she completed. She summarizes that communication with the client went well, allowing them to work together to complete the project on time despite difficulties. While time constraints and multiple client requests posed problems, the final outcome was successful in meeting both the client and target audience's needs. Going forward, she would focus on being prepared to adapt the final product based on client feedback within time limits.
CTO Universe Leadership Series: An Adult Conversation About Estimates
Estimates are a contentious topic in software development. They have value in many cases but increasingly are fraught with peril. Most of our development teams hate providing estimates and many managers are starting to view them as unnecessary. As senior software leaders, how can we determine whether estimates are helpful or harmful to our teams?
We are excited to be joined by Beekey Cheung, a software consultant and blogger known as Professor Beekums, who has helped many leaders and teams go from fearing estimates to using them appropriately. He'll walk us through the value of estimates, how to overcome the hesitancy many have in giving them, and how to provide better estimates.

Prototyping ABC: Validate your ideas
This document discusses the importance and benefits of rapid prototyping. It notes that ideas are cheap to generate but building them out requires effort. Rapid prototyping allows one to test an idea with minimum effort through manual, low, or high fidelity prototypes before investing in a real product. Different prototyping methods and tools are presented, as well as the importance of testing prototypes with customers through activities like guerrilla testing. The overall goal of prototyping is to validate ideas and receive feedback to iterate on a concept before significant resources are spent on development.
Avoiding Dental Construction Disasters
The document discusses common pitfalls in dental construction projects and provides tips to avoid disasters. Some key risks include using an inexperienced or financially unstable general contractor, insufficient planning by the architect, and taking on more project than your budget can afford. It warns that choosing the lowest bid contractor due to cost alone can lead to change orders, corners being cut, liens being filed, and projects being abandoned. Instead, it recommends proper planning, qualifying the general contractor, and finding a bank experienced in construction lending that can help guide the process.

While the team was generally satisfied with their initial briefing, the long timeframe made it difficult to foresee technological changes. User interviews found the route planning functionality useful but the game concept unclear. To be successful, the game may need to be incorporated into orientation events with more incentives to play. The overall design attempted to include too many features, making it complicated to understand without context. The team believes the concept provides fun and information for new students.

There has been a project management theme this week on the blog so the transcription is a perfect wind-up for the week.
My Guide To Pricing Freelance Writing - Options And Strategies
This document provides guidance on pricing freelance writing projects. It discusses calculating an hourly rate that accounts for expenses and non-billable time. The main pricing models for freelance writing are presented as per word, per hour, and per project. The recommendation is to use a combination of flat project rates and hourly rates, with clearly defined project scopes to control costs and ensure the hourly rate is met or exceeded. Scope creep is identified as a major risk of per project pricing that writers need to be aware of and protect against.

The oppm-tm-template
This document is a template for a project management report that includes sections for major tasks, risks, objectives, schedule, costs and metrics. The template lists 22 major tasks and 5 sub-objectives that have metrics to track progress. It also includes areas to report on internal staff assigned, project objective, schedule owners and helpers, and expenditures compared to the budget. This template can be used to organize information for project status reports.
Measurement magic in world of DevOps
This document discusses the importance of measurement in software development and operations. It notes that measurement is needed as a basis for decisions, to gain situational awareness, and for improvement. However, what is measured needs to be useful, as measuring the wrong things can lead to pitfalls. The document outlines different aspects that can be measured in development, operations, and finance. It advocates relating measures to key performance indicators and using tools and machine learning to help deal with large volumes of data from measures. Automation is also emphasized.
How to hire a Contractor
The document provides guidance on factors to consider when hiring a contractor, including checking that they have an experienced team to complete the work properly, adequate resources like staff and subcontractor networks to handle the project, and strong communication and financial management skills to deliver the project on budget and on schedule. It also recommends evaluating if the contractor can provide value engineering insights and ensure all services meet expectations.
2016 02-15 - IASTED Innsbruck 2016 - the role and decompesition of delivery ...
When a project delivers the expected product on
time and on budget, Delivery Quality is an essential part for turning a merely satisfied customer into a returning one. However, many projects fail to meet customers’ expectations, posing the question if Delivery Quality is still relevant and the underlying decomposition is still valid. The case study shows that Delivery Quality is still relevant to the project when product quality clearly is lacking: Delivery Quality might be a requirement for being able to rescue the project. The case also shows that the decomposition of
Delivery Quality into underlying factors has issues: the factor Transparency is clearly missed, and the factors Responsiveness and Partnership are too narrowly defined. Especially the lack of the factor Transparency is considered critical, since in this case the lack of Transparency led to a quite abrupt abortion of the project.
The Full Stack Deisgner Manifesto
The document discusses the role of a designer in a startup. It defines a designer as a visual problem solver who uses design thinking processes like defining problems, researching, ideating, prototyping, and learning. It states that startup problems related to products, funding, traffic, sales, conversions, retention, and growth can be solved through user experience/user interface design, storytelling, branding, marketing assets, video, images, ads, public relations, pitch decks, and copywriting. It then describes a "full stack designer" as someone who takes on diverse design roles from pre-launch to growth, including creating investor decks, mockups, marketing assets, campaigns, videos, and growth hacking strategies.
Tips for Sales in IT
Developers often fail projects by starting from scratch each time, having a busy schedule leading to slow responsiveness, and underestimating tasks like testing, project management, and understanding requirements. Clients can fail by closing campaigns permanently after objections to cost and length. Responses to price objections include questioning the client's definition of expense, providing examples of satisfied clients, and proposing milestone-based development. Good sales tactics include providing mockups, wireframes, basic technology knowledge, consulting on technology choices, project examples, explaining the software development lifecycle, and collaborative tools.

Managing client expectations is key when undertaking fixed price agile projects. It is important to educate clients on agile principles like flexibility for changes and iterative delivery. All expectations around scope, schedule, acceptance criteria, and change management should be clearly documented and agreed upon. Regular communication through progress updates, demos and reports helps align expectations by keeping clients aware of progress and importance of their inputs. Careful planning and transparency can help complete the project on budget while over-delivering on client needs.
ATC project management workshop presentation 25 sept
The document discusses project management and reasons for project failure. It defines a project and distinguishes projects from operations. Some key points made are:
1. A project is a temporary organization with a definite beginning and end to produce a unique product or service.
2. Common reasons for project failure include a lack of clear goals, poor planning, inadequate resources, and lack of ownership.
3. Good project management involves defining requirements, planning, communication, quality management, and monitoring progress.
The project manager is responsible for the project outcome and meeting goals on time and on budget.

This document discusses five common ways projects can be lost and provides examples of each:
1. Lack of clearly defined roles can lead to confusion over responsibilities and ownership.
2. Poor communication results in stakeholder confusion, increased costs, and missed commitments.
3. Using the wrong tools or not playing to team strengths can cause problems.
4. Not properly testing solutions before deployment can cause functionality issues and bugs in production.
5. Failing to create documentation means others won't know how to use or maintain the solution. Addressing these five areas is key to completing projects on time, within budget and achieving goals.

The real reason that projects fail and how to fix it - An introduction to Cri...Association for Project Management
This presentation was given by Gary Palmer on Wednesday 2nd April 2014. Airbus in Bristol very kindly hosted the event which was well attended by almost 80 of the local APM membership and project management community.
An introductory-level presentation to critical chain project management (CCPM), primarily aimed at those new to the subject.
Critical chain project management (CCPM) is fast emerging as a major step change in project management, dramatically improving project speed and predictability. Although currently relatively little-known in the UK, it has become well-established and highly successful in America, India and Japan, and is predicted to become a dominant methodology within the next few years.
CCPM changes many typical project management practices and behaviours, and by these changes removes the in-built inefficiencies in ‘traditional’ project management, enabling projects to run faster and with more effective protection against uncertainty, whilst providing much improved visibility of progress and monitoring both at the single project and multi-project (programme and portfolio) levels.
This presentation introduces the main principles of CCPM and compares and contrasts them with current project management practices, with an overview of CCPM’s history and development, use of the methods in programme and portfolio situations, current adoption in industry, and implementation considerations.Similar to Needs and-options-review (20)

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODEL
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Sinan from the Delivery Hero mobile infrastructure engineering team shares a deep dive into performance acceleration with Gradle build cache optimizations. Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.
CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECT
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.
