Project Management
The document discusses key aspects of project management including defining what constitutes a project and successful project. It outlines various project phases such as planning, execution, monitoring, and presentation. Key aspects that are highlighted include defining project objectives and deliverables, establishing timelines and schedules, managing risks, and keeping stakeholders informed of progress.

Estimation & project planning
This document discusses estimation and project planning. It states that estimation is important for making good decisions and is essential for a project's success. It notes that getting better at estimation requires practice and presenting estimates effectively and convincingly to stakeholders. The document provides tips for estimation such as designing an estimation procedure, applying specific techniques, keeping prior project estimations in mind, and keeping plans practical.
Estimation
Estimation is critical for making good project decisions and providing important information to stakeholders. However, estimation can be challenging due to many influencing factors. Underestimating can negatively impact productivity, quality, relationships and credibility. Improving estimation practices such as applying specific techniques and mining historical data can help create reliable estimates and improve project delivery, decision making, communication and cost control.
Managing multiple projects
Managing multiple projects at once requires dealing with multiple schedules, risks, stakeholders, and functional managers. The key is to recognize priorities, delegate work wisely, and understand how risk, resources, and schedules integrate. To manage multiple projects successfully, one should meet with clients, prioritize projects, track progress, schedule resources appropriately between projects, delegate work, check progress daily, and communicate regularly with clients.

Chap002
Project managers need to understand their organization's strategic management process to ensure projects are properly aligned. This involves responding to changes in strategy, environmental factors, and resource allocation. A project portfolio system can help by classifying projects, using financial and strategic selection criteria, and managing the portfolio to reduce issues like the implementation gap and organizational politics. Project proposals are evaluated and prioritized using tools like weighted scoring models to select those that best achieve organizational goals.

Presentation on 'Why cant people estimate' event, 23rd June 2016
Estimates are often biased due to human optimism and a focus on internal factors rather than external benchmarks. Parametric models using historical data from analogous projects can help mitigate bias by providing an "outside view". Calibrating models to actual data and considering cost impacts across the total life cycle can further improve estimates.
Estimation & project planning
Estimation and project planning are important but challenging aspects of IT projects. Without reliable estimates, it is difficult to forecast productivity, control costs, meet deadlines, and build trust. Good estimation and planning require adequate time, effective presentation of estimates to stakeholders, and understanding between developers and management. Developing a well-crafted estimate can provide benefits like aligned objectives, informed decision-making, reliable dates, improved communication, and satisfied customers. Top tips include integrating estimation into the development process, using historical data, applying specific techniques, and adjusting scope based on resources and budget.

Multi-project management problems & their solutions whitepaper
Multiproject management presents two main problems: 1) competition for limited resources as organizations take on multiple projects simultaneously, and 2) ineffective priority management as resources are shifted between projects. Common negative effects include employee overload, decreased satisfaction and performance, and delayed or reduced benefits from projects. The key to resolving these problems is implementing a unified priority management system, adopting a standardized project management methodology, establishing a project management office, training staff, and using an effective project scheduling and resource assignment system. Changes require significant effort but paying off with increased effectiveness, competitive advantage, and greater customer satisfaction and profit.

Information Governance, Managing Data To Lower Risk and Costs, and E-Discover...
Information governance, records and information management, and data disposition policies are ways to help lower costs and mitigate risks for organizations. Policies and procedures to actively manage data are not just an IT "problem," they're a collaborative business initiative that is a must in today's "big data" environment. With electronic discovery rules, government regulations and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, all organizations must proactively take steps to manage their data with well-governed processes and controls, or be willing to face the risks and costs that come along with keeping everything. Organizations must know what information they have, where it is located, the duration data must be retained and what information would be needed when responding to an event.
There have been numerous instances of severe legal penalties for organizations that did not have an electronic data strategy, tools, processes and controls to locate and understand their own data. In addition, the risks of unmanaged data include skyrocketing infrastructure and personnel costs and an increase in attorney time to manage massive amounts of data when a litigation event occurs.
Information governance is needed much like any business continuity and disaster recovery plans, but with an understanding of data: where data are located, how data are managed, event response, and regular testing of processes and procedures for preparedness.
