If you think managing projects is too difficult, think again.
We’ve stripped back project management processes to the
basics – to make it quicker and easier, without sacrificing
the vital ingredients for success.
“If you’re looking for some real-world guidance, then The Six Step Guide to Practical Project Management will help.”

Here at Table19, we believe that great work is only possible when clients and their agencies work together as a team. This is a presentation written by our Executive Creative Director Graham Wall, who on his first day in this industry heard the senior team he was shadowing say something he couldn’t understand: that the client had bought the wrong idea.
This set in motion a desire to understand how and why this had happened, and make sure it never happened again. This presentation details Graham’s learnings and philosophies, and shows how agencies and clients can create better work together.
This is the first SlideShare adaption of Timothy E. Johansson's 100 Growth Hacks in 100 Days. The growth hacks that's included in the slide are 1 to 10. Timothy is the front-end developer at UserApp (www.userapp.io).

It’s impossible to win over an audience with a bad presentation. You might have the next big thing, but if your presentation falls flat, then so will your idea.

Whether you’re an amateur or a seasoned presenter, you should always avoid this list of top 10 things your audience hates. Are you committing any of these 10 fatal presentation sins?

https://www.wrike.com/blog - We surveyed creative teams to discover their biggest challenges and bottlenecks, from conception to completion. And what we discovered was: creative teams have to organize requests, listen to feedback, and seek approvals, all while trying to incorporate their own creative vision, making it difficult to prioritize and meet deadlines. Check out the details in our Slideshare.
The technologies and people we are designing experiences for are constantly changing, in most cases they are changing at a rate that is difficult keep up with. When we think about how our teams are structured and the design processes we use in light of this challenge, a new design problem (or problem space) emerges, one that requires us to focus inward. How do we structure our teams and processes to be resilient? What would happen if we looked at our teams and design process as IA’s, Designers, Researchers? What strategies would we put in place to help them be successful? This talk will look at challenges we face leading, supporting, or simply being a part of design teams creating experiences for user groups with changing technological needs.

If you are like many people, even the thought of delivering a speech in front of an audience will get your palms sweating. The fear of public speaking ranks high among the most common phobias, and for good reason: most of us approach the situation with the wrong mindset, which in turn makes us live out our worst fears in a public forum.
As Michael Parker notes in IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY: How to Sell Your Message When It Matters Most (A TarcherPerigee paperback; on sale January 2016), our fixation on the content of our words – and not the presentation of ourselves – is what brings us down. Once the Vice-Chairman of London’s Saatchi & Saatchi, and one of the world’s most experienced advertising pitch men, having made more than 1,000 pitches in his successful career, Parker has learned first-hand that an effective presentation, a job interview, or even a speech at a wedding hinges on our ability to portray ourselves as passionate, relatable, and collected. But, if we are focused on what we say, and not how we act, we will fail to persuade our audience.
Applied in the boardroom, at the pulpit, or even in conversation, these tenets will help you present better in any situation.

10 Insightful Quotes On Designing A Better Customer ExperienceYuan Wang
In an ever-changing landscape of one digital disruption after another, companies and organisations are looking for new ways to understand their target markets and engage them better. Increasingly they invest in user experience (UX) and customer experience design (CX) capabilities by working with a specialist UX agency or developing their own UX lab. Some UX practitioners are touting leaner and faster ways of developing customer-centric products and services, via methodologies such as guerilla research, rapid prototyping and Agile UX. Others seek innovation and fulfilment by spending more time in research, being more inclusive, and designing for social goods.
Experience is more than just an interface. It is a relationship, as well as a series of touch points between your brand and your customer. Here are our top 10 highlights and takeaways from the recent UX Australia conference to help you transform your customer experience design.

The Great State of Design with CSS Grid Layout and FriendsStacy Kvernmo
For far too long we've been forced to reuse layout patterns that have worked in the past, creating a web full of sites that all look the same. Narrow timelines, browser support restrictions and lack of a true grid system have led us to create work that is "good enough".
I've spent years exploring how we can make the web a more unique space. With some of the newer CSS techniques available, we can start to make more creative designs. CSS Grid Layout is on the horizon and will play a major role in the design of our sites. Finally having a true, 2 dimensional grid will give our layouts much more flexibility and it is on us to explore the possibilities.
This talk was presented at CSS Day 2016.

How NOT to Run Your Company – Lessons LearnedWeekdone.com
The Internet is full of articles on „How to succeed“ and „How to build a great company“ But while following those guidelines we often forget that there's a lot you just can't do.

Everyone's favorite billionaire and Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has said “Watch, listen, and learn. You can’t know it all yourself. Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity.”

Some think working remotely is a terrible setting that takes control away and let's employees stay at home and be useless. Others find that remote work increases overall productivity and lowers the need to micromanage.

Discover the right tools for your Project Management Office (PMO)Hussain Bandukwala
No matter what the domain, having the right tools at our disposal can make a significant difference.
In relevance to the PMO, it dictates the shift in our focus from management to administration.
Project/Program Managers often find themselves scrambling around to collect pertinent and accurate information to update their statuses, while Resource Managers may have to connect with several people to determine if they efficiently staffed their resources and have sufficient bench to staff upcoming initiatives.
These are some of the reasons to compel PMOs to surround themselves with the right tools. But what are the right tools? How did we end up with the not-so-right-tools? Why are the right tools so important?
Learn all this (and more) in "Discover the right tools for your Project Management Office (PMO)"

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

2. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
FOR EVERYONE
If you think managing projects is too difficult, think again.
We’ve stripped back project management processes to the
basics – to make it quicker and easier, without sacrificing
the vital ingredients for success.
Every day, people are handed
projects to deliver. Those people
may not have been given much, if
any, project management training,
and have to juggle lots of other work
from their day job. They may end up
cutting corners.
Is that you? Or are you a manager
who is trying to get your team of
non-project managers to adopt
consistent processes?
Either way, this guide will help.
We’ve stripped back professional
project management processes to
the absolute basics. We’ve made the
process simpler and quicker, without
sacrificing the vital ingredients for
a successful project – to hit your
deadlines, stay in cost and deliver
big benefits to your organisation
(and career).
In fact, we’ve gone one further.
Often, people think they need to
use an overly complex project
management tool that requires
lots of training. Or they end up
using something that may be
close to hand (such as a spreadsheet
or a word processor) but just isn’t
up to the job.
As well as giving you a simple
process, we’ll also give you a chance
to go ahead and apply what you’ve
learned in practice with templates
and guides using our simple project
management tool – MindGenius.
So, when it comes to getting the
job done quickly and easily, there’s
nothing stopping you.

a quick summary of what's
coming up.
1 Understand why your project exists (its purpose) and its objectives. This
will guide your decisions throughout the project.
DISCOVER WHAT YOUR PROJECT NEEDS TO ACHIEVE
2 Identify your stakeholders and gather their requirements. Benefit from
the collective knowledge of the team.
FIND OUT WHO IS INVOLVED AND WHAT THEY WANT
3 Create your scope document and present it to your stakeholders in a
meeting. Get everyone on the same page and collect vital feedback.
DECIDE ON WHAT YOU NEED TO DELIVER
4 List your tasks, find out how long they will take, assign them to people
and get a realistic finish time. Visualise your timeline with a Gantt chart.
SCHEDULE THE TASKS
5 Monitor progress, report on the status and deal with any changes. Keep
on top of everything and keep stakeholders in the loop.
MANAGE THE WORK AND COMPLETE THE PROJECT
6 Run a retrospective meeting to learn lessons from the project. It's a
valuable opportunity to identify improvements.

4. PROJECT MANAGEMENT DOESN'T HAVE
TO BE COMPLEX OR INTIMIDATING
Dr Andrew Makar of Tactical Project Management, who has
15 years of experience as a PMP-certified project manager
and of leading non-project managers, says people today
don't have time for overly complex processes
Many people are entrusted with
the mantle of ‘project manager’,
often regardless of whether they
are interested in the role. There
is an entire industry aimed at the
project management profession
with hundreds of thousands of
certified project management
professionals, yet projects get
delivered every day, with and
without certified project managers.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m Project
Management Professional (PMP)
certified and actually enjoy a
healthy discussion on proper
project management processes.
However, project management
doesn’t have to be overly complex
or intimidating, as described in
project management textbooks.
One of the best executives I ever met
prided himself on not having PMP
certification, yet he was responsible
for his organisation’s enterprise
programmes and projects.
He acknowledged that project
management processes, tools and
techniques were important, but just
as vital are communication and
common sense. He trusted his team
to pick the right tool for the job and
adjust the processes to meet the
project needs.
People don’t have time today for
overly complex processes producing
reams of documentation and
checklists. They need to deliver
projects, not paperwork.
The project management
industry provides processes and
techniques to improve project
quality. However, these need to
be adjusted to fit your project.
If you’ve inherited the mantle of
‘project manager’ and are looking
for some real-world guidance, then
the The Six Step Guide to Simple
Project Management will help you
get started. After all, you’ve got
projects to deliver.

6. SUMMIT
When you’ve been given a new project to manage, there are
some essential pieces of top-level information you’ll need at
the very start of the process.
STEP ONE: DISCOVER WHAT YOUR PROJECT NEEDS TO ACHIEVE
This information will:
• Ensure you understand what is
expected of you
• Help you make the right decisions
throughout the project
• Explain the project to
stakeholders and set their
expectations
You’ll need to define the following:
Purpose
You need to understand the reason
for the project, such as the problem
it aims to solve or the benefits it
will bring, as well as what you will
deliver to achieve this.
Objectives
You will need to list the project’s
outcomes – what you want the
project to have achieved after
it is delivered.
Key requirements
You’ll need to identify the
top-level requirements under
the three headings:
• Scope: What should the
project deliver?
• Time: Is there a date this
needs to be delivered by?
• Cost (or resources): What’s the
budget? What personnel are
available?
You should also find out which
are flexible: can either the scope,
timeline or cost be changed? Or is
there one which should be fixed?
Your purpose and objectives will act
as your ‘guiding light’ throughout
the project. You’ll need to refer to it
regularly to make sure you’re making
the right decisions, so you should make
sure that they clear and specific.

7. Major milestones
As well as recording the start date,
you should also record the end date
you should aim for, only if you know
it at this stage, as well as any other
key deadlines.
Project team
You should find out at this stage
who is available to help out with
the tasks that will be needed to
deliver the project.
STEP ONE: DISCOVER WHAT YOUR PROJECT NEEDS TO ACHIEVE
I remember working on one
project where the running joke
was that the project had launched, yet
the project charter [as project start-
up documents are often called] was
“almost ready to be signed”. It consisted
of a 45-page Word document that no
one would ever read in great detail or
even sign off. The project still delivered
on time and was successful. This
example begs the question – was all
that process really needed?

8. Discover what the project
needs to achieve (and
more)
You’ve learned all about the first
step of project management:
finding out what the project needs
to achieve. Now you can go ahead
and do it in real life.
We’ve provided you with a free
template to allow you to document
the information you need.
It’s part of the package of templates
that accompany this guide, which

into practice.

10. The success of your project is not just about following the
right process, it’s also about involving the right people in
the process.
STEP TWO: FIND OUT WHO IS INVOLVED AND WHAT THEY WANT
These people are your stakeholders
and they have valuable input –
information, insights, views and a
fresh perspective. In other words,
they can play a vital role in making
sure you don’t miss anything
important.
It’s also important that you keep
them on side, so they support your
project rather than block progress.
Identify your stakeholders
You need to find out who is affected
by your project or has the power to
make the project succeed or fail.
Sometimes the list will be very short,
and other times it may be longer.
And sometimes it may take you
a few minutes of thinking alone
to make the list, and other times
you may need to brainstorm with
colleagues. But it’s vital that you do
it. Leaving someone out could be
seriously damaging to your project.
- Share guide -
11. Find out what they need
Once you’ve identified your
stakeholders, you need to talk
to them, to find out what they
need from the project (their
requirements).
Each stakeholder may need the
project to do different things
and will be able to offer different
expert insights.
There are many ways you can get
their input. The most valuable is
the meeting – where you get all the
stakeholders together in the one
room to brainstorm. It’s a chance
to benefit from the collective
knowledge of your organisation in
the one session.
Failing that, you can also conduct
interviews. This gives you a
good depth of information, but it
takes more time. You may want
to prioritise the most important
decision makers and subject
experts for this.
The least engaging method of
all is email – only to be used as
a last resort or for low-priority
stakeholders.
It’s crucial that you are as
comprehensive at this stage as
possible. Anything you miss here
may derail the project later on.
By recording information in
sessions using the right software, you'll
save time and energy from retyping (and
making sense of hastily written notes),
compared with using whiteboards or
post-it notes. You can use MindGenius
for this – it’s easy to capture information
quickly. By using a projector or big
screen, everyone can see the information
you capture, and you can even start to
group and analyse the information in
collaboration with stakeholders, saving
you even more time.

requirements.

14. One big reason projects fail is due to the fact that what
the project will deliver has been poorly defined and not
effectively communicated to stakeholders.
STEP THREE: DECIDE ON WHAT YOU NEED TO DELIVER
You need a crystal clear idea of
this, so you know what you need
to achieve, you can measure your
progress and your stakeholders
know what to expect.
Create your scope
Once you’ve gathered all your
requirements, you need to then
translate these into what your
project will deliver (the deliverables)
to meet those requirements.
The list of deliverables is typically
called a scope – which sets out the
boundaries of your project.
Make sure your deliverables
are clear, to avoid stakeholders
being disappointed that their
interpretation of the deliverables
doesn’t match the reality.
Get agreement on the scope
You should get your stakeholders
together in a meeting, to ensure
they all understand and agree.
Make sure nothing is hidden –
which can happen if you just hand
someone a document (people
can miss things). Your goal is
absolute clarity, and to get valuable
feedback.
Present the scope visually and talk
through each part (MindGenius
is great for this – feel free to give
it a try). It gives stakeholders the
opportunity to spot gaps and to
allow you to ensure that they don’t
miss or misunderstand anything.

17. One of the most common mistakes an inexperienced
manager of projects makes is being overly optimistic
about when the project can be delivered.
STEP FOUR: SCHEDULE THE TASKS
What may seem a reasonable
timeframe may turn out to be
wildly ambitious. You will only know
what is realistic when you create
an estimate of how long your tasks
will take with the personnel at
your disposal, to give you a more
accurate completion date.
List, estimate and
assign your tasks
Once you have approval from
your stakeholders on what your
project will deliver, then you can
start to list the tasks needed for
each deliverable.
For each task, you should estimate
how long it would take. Then,
you should assign that task to
someone – whether that’s you or
one of your team.
If you use a tool such as MindGenius, you
can create and adapt your Gantt chart
quickly and easily. By adding dates to
each of your tasks you then unlock the
ability to automatically turn your map
into a Gantt chart. It is easy to adapt, for
example, if you need to change the dates
or sequence of tasks. You can also assign
people to tasks.
- Share guide -
18. You then need to look at whether
the people who have been assigned
tasks are either under or over
allocated. For example, you may
need to move the schedule or
reallocate work if you have two
tasks for the one person at the
same time.
Because you have the durations for
each task, and those are in the right
sequence and position, this now
gives you your plan and estimated
delivery date.
Visualise your timeline
with a Gantt chart
Gantt charts are an ideal visual way
to see your project schedule clearly.
Creating your Gantt chart starts with
arranging the tasks into a logical
order and including the durations
for each. You can then link the tasks
– does one need to be completed
before another starts?
You may find that some tasks don’t
depend on others and can be done
anytime and that sets of tasks can
run in parallel with other sets. This
can shorten the project’s overall
timeline.

schedule. Download a free trial of the

STEP FOUR: SCHEDULE THE TASKS
- Share guide -
19. If the project management tool you use isn’t flexible with scheduling, the project
manager can spend hours, if not days, trying to tweak the schedule to fit the project
management tool constraints. For one project, I spent more time allocating project
team resources to high-level tasks in a meaningless project schedule just so everyone
could record time. I maintained a separate schedule for all the real project tasks,
but needed to do duplicate administration in a separate system.
Project management just doesn’t have to be this hard.

21. The only way it will happen is
paying close attention to
progressing each task. Then,
before you know it, you’ve delivered
what you said you would.
Monitor the progress
Make sure you are on top of your
tasks and if other people have
tasks, check with them regularly to
make sure they are on track. Pay
attention to your milestones, such
as the completion of a phase or
deliverable.
If you or other team members are
encountering problems, make
sure you address them as soon as
possible, to minimise any delays.
Everything’s planned, your stakeholders are happy, the
work is scheduled and the people are assigned to the tasks.
That can only mean one thing – that you are ready to deliver
your project.
STEP FIVE: MANAGE THE WORK AND COMPLETE THE PROJECT
Report on the status
Whether weekly or monthly, you may
need to report on progress to key
stakeholders – such as your boss.
You should only be reporting on the
highlights – the top level deliverables
or milestones. A colour-based system
can help:
• green for ‘everything is great and
we are on schedule’,
• amber as a warning (but
stakeholders don’t need to panic –
the projects team is dealing with it)
• red for ‘there is a problem and
you need help from the wider
stakeholders to resolve the issue’.

Deal with any changes
With the best will in the world,
changes are inevitable. And, even
if you’ve done everything right
when planning, you may encounter
unforeseen problems or spot
opportunities – and responding
to these will have an impact on
your project.
You may need to draft in more
people to help, reduce what your
project will deliver or you may have
to accept that the project will run
late. Crucially, you should let your
key stakeholders know and get
their approval.
Complete the project
Once the last task is complete,
and you’ve delivered everything
that is expected, then the project
is complete. Remember to
congratulate yourself and the
team on the big achievement.
Derek Jack, co-founder of
MindGenius, said: “If you’ve followed
all the practical steps in this guide,
then your project will do much
more than cross the finish line. Your

25. When the last tasks have been completed, and the project
has been delivered, that’s often the end of the story. But
it shouldn’t be.
STEP SIX: LEARN LESSONS
Make sure you act on the information
from the retrospective, rather than let
it gather dust. At the very least share
the information with the rest of the
organisation so they can apply those
lessons to their projects.
Whether the project was a success
or not, there will always be lessons
to learn for the next time.
It’s human nature to want to move
on once something is finished, but
failing to review the project means
you will end up repeating the same
mistakes again and again, even on
very different projects.
Lessons learned sessions (or
retrospectives), to identify what
went well and what did not, can be
done at various stages throughout
the project or, at the very least, as a
final review.
