This PPT talks about 4 steps to perfect project planning. For more information visit: https://www.tools4management.com/article-category/project-management/
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.
In this chapter, you will learn how to:
✔ Use the Backstage view to open and save Project files.
✔ Work with commands on different tabs of the ribbon interface, the major visual
change introduced in Project 2010.
✔ Use different views to see Project information presented in different ways.
In this presentation we have done earlier a project for Phillip Morris (Pakistan) for the access control system and canteen management system. It is the project presentation for our subject Planning and Scheduling. i hope it is the best for the understanding Project planning and scheduling.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
• A detailed, hierarchical (from
general to specific) tree structure
of deliverables and tasks that
need to be performed to
complete a project.
3. purpose or WBS
• to identify actual tasks to be done
in a project. Serves as basis for
project planning.
• An extension to PERT.

7. Project Planning
Definition
• A Project Plan sets out the phases,
activities and tasks needed to deliver
a project.
• The timeframes required to deliver the
project, along with the resources and
milestones are also shown in the
Project Plan.

9. History
• PERT is a network model that allows for
randomness in activity completion
times.
• PERT was developed in the late 1950's
for the U.S. Navy's Polaris project
having thousands of contractors.
– It has the potential to reduce both the
time and cost required to complete a
project.
11. 1. Project Schedule
Definition
• An organized method of presenting in-
formation on when activities need to be
started, how long activities are planned
to take, and when activities are planned
to be completed.
• A schedule should also reflect the logical
relationships between activities.
12. 2. PERT (Project Evaluation Review
Technique)
Definition
• A diagram that shows tasks and their
relationships. Limited because it shows
only task relationships. Strength: easy
to read task relationships.
– Also known as Network Diagram
14. 3. Gantt Chart
Definition
• A bar chart. While visually appealing
on a task/duration basis, it is limited
because it does not show task or
resource relationships well.
– Strength: easy to maintain and read.

16. Steps in the PERT Planning Process
PERT planning involves the following steps:
• Identify the specific activities and milestones
• Determine the proper sequence of the activities
• Construct a network diagram
• Estimate the time required for each activity
---------------------------
• Determine the Critical Path
• Update the PERT Chart as the project progresses
17. 1. Identify Activities and Milestones
• The activities are the tasks required to
complete the project.
• The milestones are the events marking
the beginning and end of one or more
activities.
– It is helpful to list the tasks in a table that in
later steps can be expanded to include
information on sequence and duration.
18. 2. Determine Activity Sequence
• This step may be combined with the
activity identification step since the
activity sequence is evident for some
tasks.
– Other tasks may require more analysis to
determine the exact order in which they
must be performed.
19. 3. Construct the Network Diagram
• Using the activity sequence
information, a network diagram can
be drawn showing the sequence of
the serial and parallel activities.
– For the original activity-on-arc model, the
activities are depicted by arrowed lines
and milestones are depicted by circles or
"bubbles".
20. 4. Estimate Activity Times (ET)
For each activity, the model usually includes three
time estimates:
• Optimistic time - generally the shortest time in which
the activity can be completed.
• Most likely time - the completion time having the
highest probability. Note that this time is different
from the expected time.
• Pessimistic time - the longest time that an activity
might require. Three standard deviations from the
mean is commonly used for the pessimistic time.
21. Expected Time
Expected time =
( Optimistic + 4 x Most likely + Pessimistic ) / 6
