Risk analysis is a systematic process to estimate the probability and impact of identified project risks. There are qualitative and quantitative approaches to risk analysis. Qualitative approaches use scales to assess probability and impact and assign risk levels like low, medium, high. Quantitative approaches use techniques like expected value analysis to generate probabilistic estimates of project outcomes. Monte Carlo simulation is commonly used to model project risks and determine the likelihood of meeting objectives within given cost and schedule constraints. Effective risk management involves identifying, analyzing, prioritizing and developing response plans for risks throughout the project lifecycle.
The document provides an overview of key components for an effective project charter, including objectives, scope, deliverables, timelines, budgets, resources, risks, and measures of success. An effective charter clearly defines the project goals, how it fits strategically, what work will be done, when it will be completed, who will work on it, potential challenges, and how success will be determined. The charter establishes a shared understanding and provides essential information to ensure project alignment, buy-in, and successful delivery.

This document provides an overview of project scheduling concepts and best practices. It discusses the purpose of a project schedule as a management communication tool [SENTENCE 1]. It covers schedule strategy, including building a schedule on paper before entering it into software. The document also discusses scheduling software options, certification in project scheduling through PMI, and tips for preparing for the PMI Scheduling Professional exam [SENTENCE 2]. Project scheduling concepts discussed include work breakdown structures, critical path method, appropriate level of detail in a schedule, and regularly updating the schedule [SENTENCE 3].
The document outlines 10 common reasons why projects fail: 1) poor planning and lack of clear goals, 2) inefficient documentation and tracking of progress, 3) poor leadership, 4) failure to set and manage expectations, 5) inadequately trained project managers, 6) inaccurate cost estimation, 7) lack of communication, 8) misaligned company culture or ethics, 9) competing priorities that drain resources, and 10) disregarding warning signs that a project may fail. Taking steps to avoid these issues such as thorough planning, clear documentation, strong leadership, proper training, accurate budgets, open communication, aligned values, and heeding signs of trouble can help projects succeed.
Project management involves planning, controlling, and reporting on time, labor, and costs to successfully develop new systems. Key aspects of project management include creating work plans, estimating tasks, staffing projects, controlling schedules, and managing risks and scope. Project managers must address common mistakes like overly optimistic schedules and failing to monitor or update schedules.

Project monitoring and control & planning for monitoringSandeep Kumar
This document discusses project monitoring and control. It defines monitoring as the regular observation and recording of project activities, and control as processes used to predict, understand, and influence project time and cost outcomes. The purposes of monitoring and control are to analyze the project situation, determine if inputs are being utilized properly, identify and address problems, and ensure activities are on track. Effective monitoring and control involves status reporting, project reviews, tracking schedule and budget variances, and managing risks.
Project management is about acquiring or achieving the project goal and Most projects need to be broken down into a logical sequence of ‘phases’, known as the project life cycle.
Studies show that many projects either fail outright or fail to meet most of their objectives. There are a myriad of possible reasons why this might be the case. Very often, organizations go looking for a culprit and sometimes blame the project manager or even the very concept of project management itself. Sometimes they decide to “fix” the problem by getting all the project managers certified. Or they decide to standardize on a certain tool. And while certification and standardization are laudable things, they do not necessarily address the central problem or problems. This presentation will discuss the top ten reasons why projects fail and briefly discuss solutions to each problem. We will see how such areas as estimates, scope and “the accidental project manager” contribute to the problem.

The Design and Analysis of Algorithms.pdfSaqib Raza
Here are the key points made in the preface:
- Algorithms play a central role in both computer science and practice. There are two main approaches to presenting algorithms in textbooks - by problem type or by design technique.
- The author believes organizing by design technique is more appropriate for an introductory algorithms course. This is because it provides tools for designing new algorithms, classifies known algorithms by underlying idea, and the techniques have general problem-solving utility.
- However, the traditional classification of design techniques has shortcomings from theoretical and educational perspectives. Specifically, it fails to classify many important algorithms.
- This limitation has forced other textbooks to depart from the design technique organization and include chapters by problem type instead.

Need for Speed: Removing speed bumps from your Symfony projects ⚡️Łukasz Chruściel
No one wants their application to drag like a car stuck in the slow lane! Yet it’s all too common to encounter bumpy, pothole-filled solutions that slow the speed of any application. Symfony apps are not an exception.
In this talk, I will take you for a spin around the performance racetrack. We’ll explore common pitfalls - those hidden potholes on your application that can cause unexpected slowdowns. Learn how to spot these performance bumps early, and more importantly, how to navigate around them to keep your application running at top speed.
We will focus in particular on tuning your engine at the application level, making the right adjustments to ensure that your system responds like a well-oiled, high-performance race car.
Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code AnalysisAftab Hussain
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.

2. Introduction
• When you build a product or system, it's important to go through a
series of predictable steps.
• The road map that you follow is called a 'software process‘.
• Software engineers and their managers adapt the process to their
needs and then follow it.
• It provides stability, control, and organization to an activity that can, if
left uncontrolled, become quite chaotic.
3. What is the Project Life Cycle ?
• Every project has certain phases of development.
• A clear understanding of these phases allows managers and executives to
maintain control of the project more efficiently.
• By definition, a project has a beginning and an end and passes through
several phases of development known as life cycle phases.
• These phases are varied depending upon the industry involved but all follow
the same basic steps.
• It is important to realize that the project life cycle for each project may
differ, in both the number of phases it may have and the detail within each
of these phases.
4. The five main phases of the project life
cycle
• According to PMI, “project management is the application of
knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to a broad range of activities
in order to meet the requirements of a particular project.”
• There are five phases of project management and if the lifecycle
provides a high-level view of the project, the phases are the
roadmap to accomplishing it.
5. Phase 1: Project Initiation
• This is the start of the project, and the goal of this phase is to define
the project at a broad level. This phase usually begins with a business
case. This is when you will research whether the project is feasible
and if it should be undertaken.
• If feasibility testing needs to be done, this is the stage of the project
in which that will be completed.
• Important stakeholders will do their due diligence to help decide if
the project is a “go.” If it is given the green light, you will need to
create a project charter or a project initiation document (PID) that
outlines the purpose and requirements of the project. It should
include business needs, stakeholders, and the business case.
6. Phase 2: Project Planning
• This phase is key to successful project management and focuses on developing a
roadmap that everyone will follow. This phase typically begins with setting goals.
Two of the more popular methods for setting goals are S.M.A.R.T. and CLEAR:
• S.M.A.R.T. Goals – This method helps ensure that the goals have been thoroughly
implemented. It also provides a way to clearly understand the implications of the
goal-setting process.
• Specific –answer the following questions: who, what, where, when, which, and why.
• Measurable – Create criteria that you can use to Measure the success of a goal.
• Attainable – Identify the most important goals and what it will take to achieve
them.
• Realistic – You should be willing and able to work toward a particular goal.
• Timely – Create a timeframe to achieve the goal.
7. Phase 2: Project Planning
• C.L.E.A.R. Goals – A newer method for setting goals that takes into
consideration the environment of today’s fast-paced businesses.
• Collaborative – The goal should encourage employees to work together.
• Limited – They should be limited in scope and time to keep it manageable.
• Emotional – Goals should tap into the passion of employees and be something
they can form an emotional connection to. This can optimize the quality of
work.
• Appreciable – Break larger goals into smaller tasks that can be quickly
achieved.
• Refinable – As new situations arise, be flexible and refine goals as needed.
8. Phase 2: Project Planning
• During this phase, the scope of the project is defined and a project management
plan is developed.
• It involves identifying the cost, quality, available resources, and a realistic
timetable. The project plans also includes establishing baselines or performance
measures. These are generated using the scope, schedule and cost of a project. A
baseline is essential to determine if a project is on track.
• At this time, roles and responsibilities are clearly defined, so everyone involved
knows what they are accountable for. Here are some of the documents a PM will
create during this phase to ensure the project will stay on track:
• Scope Statement – A document that clearly defines the business need, benefits of
the project, objectives, deliverables, and key milestones. A scope statement may
change during the project, but it shouldn’t be done without the approval of the
project manager and the sponsor.
9. Phase 2: Project Planning
• Work Breakdown Schedule (WBS) –This is a visual representation that breaks
down the scope of the project into manageable sections for the team.
• Milestones – Identify high-level goals that need to be met throughout the
project and include them in the Gantt chart.
• Gantt Chart – A visual timeline that you can use to plan out tasks and visualize
your project timeline.
• Communication Plan – This is of particular importance if your project involves
outside stakeholders. Develop the proper messaging around the project and
create a schedule of when to communicate with team members based on
deliverables and milestones.
• Risk Management Plan – Identify all foreseeable risks. Common risks include
unrealistic time and cost estimates, customer review cycle, budget cuts,
changing requirements, and lack of committed resources.
10. Phase 3: Project Execution
• This is the phase where deliverables are developed and completed.
This often feels like the meat of the project since a lot is happening
during this time, like status reports and meetings, development
updates, and performance reports.
• A “kick-off” meeting usually marks the start of the Project Execution
phase where the teams involved are informed of their
responsibilities.
11. Phase 3: Project Execution
Tasks completed during the Execution Phase include:
• Develop team
• Assign resources
• Execute project management plans
• Procurement management if needed
• PM directs and manages project execution
• Set up tracking systems
• Task assignments are executed
• Status meetings
• Update project schedule
• Modify project plans as needed
12. Phase 4: Project Performance/Monitoring
• This is all about measuring project progression and performance and ensuring that
everything happening aligns with the project management plan.
• Project managers will use key performance indicators (KPIs) to determine if the
project is on track. A PM will typically pick two to five of these KPIs to measure
project performance:
• Project Objectives: Measuring if a project is on schedule and budget is an
indication if the project will meet stakeholder objectives.
• Quality Deliverables: This determines if specific task deliverables are being met.
• Effort and Cost Tracking: PMs will account for the effort and cost of resources to
see if the budget is on track. This type of tracking informs if a project will meet its
completion date based on current performance.
• Project Performance: This monitors changes in the project. It takes into
consideration the amount and types of issues that arise and how quickly they are
addressed. These can occur from unforeseen hurdles and scope changes.
13. Phase 5: Project Closure
• This phase represents the completed project. Contractors hired to
work specifically on the project are terminated at this time. Valuable
team members are recognized. Some PMs even organize small work
events for people who participated in the project to thank them for
their efforts.
• Once a project is complete, a PM will often hold a meeting –
sometimes referred to as a “post mortem” – to evaluate what went
well in a project and identify project failures. This is especially helpful
to understand lessons learned so that improvements can be made
for future projects.
14. Phase 5: Project Closure
• PMs still have a few tasks to complete. They will need to create a
project punch list of things that didn’t get accomplished during the
project and work with team members to complete them.
• Perform a final project budget and prepare a final project report.
• Finally, they will need to collect all project documents and
deliverables and store them in a single place.
