This document provides a book review of the book "Project Management Methodologies" by Jason Charvat. Some key points:
- The book discusses selecting, implementing, and supporting project methodologies and processes. It is oriented towards IT projects but aims to be applicable across industries.
- An important lesson is that a methodology essentially defines the project life cycle or life span - the set of sequential phases a project passes through.
- The book distinguishes between a project management methodology, which defines the high-level project framework, and a development methodology, which provides details on system design and development.
- Adopting the wrong methodology or no methodology at all can lead to schedule delays, cost overruns,
FROM PMO TO STRATEGIC PMO - AN INDIRECT APPROACHPhilippe Husser
Managing effectively a portfolio of strategic initiatives is a key success factor. However too often we, PMO, are considered as paper tigers. Truth to be told, too often we, PMO, also lack the required skills.
However, there is an approach which allows PMO to acquire skills and demonstrate benefits. This is the indirect approach. The indirect approach is the only one working in large complex organizations.
This presentation focuses on three points:
• First we will explore three key domains of knowledge I explored myself with great benefits
• Second we will share seven snapshots of what I experienced in terms of indirect approach as a PMO at Michelin
• Third I will share with you three takeaways for PMOs to learn and apply
The three domains to explore are:
• Complexity, and a few key characteristics of complex adaptive systems
• Indirectness, and two samples of direct and indirect approaches
• Strategy, and differences in two key schools of strategic thought
The indirect approach will then be walked-through seven real life snapshots:
• Program Cause and Approach
• Local Relays
• First Benefits
• Single Version of Truth
• Tipping Point
• Strategic Gap
• Strategic Initiatives
From this journey, we will share three key takeways to learn and apply by PMO:
• First, learn and apply Complex Adaptive Systems and Chaos Theory
• Second, learn and apply Dual-Mode Strategies
• Third, learn and apply Human Dynamics and how to develop an Appealing WIIFM Cause and an Alliance you Lead from Behind

Abstract
Successful organizations incorporate project planning and best practices into their business
models. Such organizations use project planning and best practices to ensure they are being the
most efficient, effective, and sustainable they can be. The Project Planning and Best Practices
study documents the project planning process; defines the key elements of the usual project plan
and risks associated with not addressing each element appropriately; and offers some industry best
practices to mitigate those risks. The high tempo of most contemporary, professional projects
engenders a demanding environment that allows little margin for failure to mitigate these risks.
The study’s methodology included major books, an on-line article, and a personal interview on
project management, project planning, and industry best practices as well as the authors’ own
professional experiences at NASA, the U.S. Army, the U.S. Coast Guard, and Computer Sciences
Corporation. It referenced internationally accepted resources and practices that are readily
available to aspiring project managers. Further, it examined risks of not addressing the planning
process and not implementing best practices within an organization. The study determined that
virtually every step in professional project management includes project planning, and that the key
elements of a project plan include project requirements; project management; project schedules;
facility requirements; logistic support; financial support; and manpower and organization. Failure
to effectively address each of these elements invites risk that can lead to project failure. After

Engineering Project Management
This report is going to talk about and explain the basics of project
management, the importance of project management, the role of project
manager, the skills a good project manager must have, some key concepts
that almost every project must follow, the steps of the project and how the
project works and what effects it, and some of the reasons that may cause
problems in the process of the way that the project is going or some of the
problems that may actually make the project fail and not just create some
problems that can be solved, and the report also explains a small example
to make understanding the concept of engineering project management
easy.
The report explains the entire process of project management from the first
step before the project starts, and it explains on how to achieve the goal of
the project at the end when the project is finished.

Benchmarking of Project Management Office Establishment:
Extracting Best Practices
Bjørn Andersen1; Bjørnar Henriksen2; and Wenche Aarseth3
Abstract: This paper deals with best practices in establishing, developing, and implementing project management offices �PMOs�. First,
a brief overview of the theoretical background for PMOs is presented. The research approach is described, along with an overview of the
benchmarking partners used. In the main part of this paper, various aspects of a PMO’s life cycle are discussed based on observations from
the benchmarking partners. Through the benchmarking study, we have discovered that although the PMO design differs greatly, certain
key characteristics, responsibilities, and tasks are very similar. Successful PMOs take on responsibility for different project-related
functions and core tasks related to development of shared methodology and processes for handling of projects, training and competence
development within project management, proposing of new projects, and quality assurance of projects. The success of the PMO is related
to ensuring the necessary authority of the PMO, real organizational authority as well as academic and social credibility, top management
support, and that the PMO covers true needs in the organization.

Introduction
Many organizations, especially above a certain size and with an
extensive degree of project work, have taken the step to establish
centralized project management offices �PMOs� to take on
responsibility for project-related functions and coordinate project-
related activities. There are large variations in terms of organiza-
tional location of such PMOs and the responsibilities/tasks they
hold.
This gap in perceptions of PMOs and their impact led several
companies we continuously work with to ask the question “what
seems to be best practice in this area?” These companies were all
in the process of establishing a PMO or redefining/formalizing
existing project support functions in a PMO, and thus saw the
need for some kind of roadmap for designing and implementing a
project management office. As a result, a comparative bench-
marking study was undertaken, using a sample of companies who
had accumulated experiences in this field as data sources. The
purpose was to identify any common factors, positive and nega-
tive, that seemed to dictate the success rate of a PMO.
Theoretical Background
Historical Background and Development
Project offices have for quite some time been used as a means for
administrating large projects, based on the need for an overall,
coherent approach. Project offices were established to coordinate
portfolios of projects, and these offices facilitated experience
transfer and benchmarking among the projects. In addition, such
project offices often functioned as a “project monitor ...
Project management is over the use of specific skills, knowledge and techniques to improve something of value. Examples of projects include software development, building construction and relief operations after natural disasters.

FAQ document
What are project management tools?
These are the instruments which project managers use to plan, execute as well as manage plans in one centralized virtual location. These tools vary from team to team depending on the tasks to be performed in the project. The project management tools include; project management software, real-time instant messaging tool, knowledge base tool and file sharing tool.
What is project management software?
This is computer software which helps the project team members to collaborate during the project, plan all their activities as well as to record all the collected data.
What is a real-time instant messaging tool?
It is a tool that allows team members of a particular project to talk and video call with colleagues in real time. This tool helps improve collaboration of the team members and allows all people to collectively provide their opinions on different matters during carrying out the project.
What is knowledge base tool?
It involves a search database that allows individual to store the combined wisdom of the team members and ensures that the information is accessible to all members
What is a file sharing tool?
It is a tool which allows people to save sync and share files. It ensures that all the documents provided by team members are well stored and easily retrievable for future reference. (Bilal.et.al, 2017)
What are project management methodologies?
Project management methodologies are basically the different techniques which are used to approach a given project; every methodology of project management has its unique process and workflow. They are classified into “traditional or sequential methodologies, agile methodologies, the change management methodologies and process-based methodologies.”
What are the traditional or sequential methodologies?
These are the methods of managing a project which involve a sequence of tasks which lead to the final deliverables and project managers are required to ensure that the tasks are worked on them in a given order. The methodologies classified under this category include;
· Waterfall project management methodology; involves completing a certain task before beginning another task in a linked sequence of objects which adds up to the general goal. It is used in projects that create physical objects like building a computer.
· Critical path method; it involves prioritizing and allocating available raw materials to ensure the most crucial task is done as well as rescheduling lower priority task.
· Critical chain project management; involves a technique for putting main concentration on the needed materials.
What are agile methodologies?
These are project management methodologies which prioritize on shorter iterative cycles and flexibility. They are categorized .

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
