Pam, a project manager, initially dislikes the CMMI processes her company introduces but eventually wants to understand them better. However, her first experiences with process development, deployment, and appraisals are frustrating and negatively impact her project. The document outlines common reasons why project managers dislike the CMMI, such as unrealistic process requirements and evidence collection taking too much time. It advocates applying CMMI principles like ensuring processes are useful and appraisals don't hinder projects. Pam eventually realizes her struggles were just a dream and is able to apply CMMI in a practical way that improves her work.
Introduction to Agile Project Management and ScrumVoximate
Brief introduction to Agile Project Management and Scrum covering user stories, story points, use of Fibonacci sequence values for story points, release planning, sprints, capacity, velocity, sprint commit meetings, sprint review meetings, and burndown charts. Explains the importance of returning the product to a potentially shippable state at the end of each sprint to reduce the accumulation of technical debt and keep the assessment of project progress realistic. Summarizes the roles in Scrum of the Product Owner (who writes or facilitates the writing by customers of user stories), the ScrumMaster (who manages the Scrum), and the Team (who do the work). Discusses values and best practices in Agile/Extreme Programming ("XP") values. Explains daily standup meeting in which people share what they did yesterday, what they're doing today, and any blocking issues they're encountering. Summarizes common problems with waterfall project management including a serialized process, longer time to market, isolation of developers from customer needs, plans falling out of synch with reality, lack of visibility into rate of progress, features being slashed late in the development cycle to bring in release dates, long time to project completion, late feedback from customers, projects falling behind schedule, and projects missing their market window or being killed before launch. Summaries problems with monolithic product requirements documents including length, lack of readability, disconnection from customer needs, and lack of clarity about which features are for which customers.

In many ways, the Agile Manifesto gives us a road-map and lays a firm foundation for efficient software development.
There are naysayers among those who swear by traditional methods; but these criticisms do not hold water because the
entire agile movement rests on robust methodologies and concepts. So what does this augur for the future? No one can
tell with certainty.
Agility encompasses believing and relying on one's ability to respond to unpredictable events, rather than banking on the
competence to indulge in pre-planning. At the end of the day, the methodologies remind us that even though we create
and work with software, the human element, and the resultant collaboration it enhances, is all too important in the larger
scheme of things.
Agile management, or agile process management, or simply agile refers to an iterative, incremental method of managing the design and build activities of engineering, information technology and other business areas that aim to provide new product or service development in a highly flexible and interactive manner; an example is its application in Scrum, an original form of agile software development.

An Overview of User Acceptance Testing (UAT)Usersnap
What is User Acceptance Testing? Also known as UAT or UAT testing.
it's basically, a process of verifying that a solution works for the user.
And the key word here, is user. This is crucial, because they’re the people who will use the software on a daily basis. There are many aspects to consider with respect to software functionality. There’s unit testing, functional testing, integration testing, and system testing, amongst many others.
What Is User Acceptance Testing?
I’ll keep it simple; according to Techopedia, UAT (some people call it UAT testing as well) is:
User acceptance testing (UAT) is the last phase of the software testing process. During UAT, actual software users test the software to make sure it can handle required tasks in real-world scenarios, according to specifications. UAT is one of the final and critical software project procedures that must occur before newly developed software is rolled out to the market.
User acceptance testing (UAT), otherwise known as Beta, Application, or End-User Testing, is often considered the last phase in the web development process, the one before final installation of the software on the client site, or final distribution of it.

Making agile work in a waterfall driven world.sc0ttruss
When two tectonic plates meet there will always be friction, so how do we address this continental divide and make work seamless?
Standing up an Agile team is hard. Not just in the sense of delivering value to the business, but in the sense of challenging existing pre-conceptions. Moreover most large enterprises have processes focused on the Waterfall methodology.
Changing the entire org structure to facilitate one agile team, would not make sense, but if agile is one of the “ways of the future”, then there has to be a path for the two to co-exist. This path should not involve extensive conflict internally, or create two warring factions. This is all about how to utilise existing structures and introduce change, more around the zombie apocalypse model and less around ITIL. This is about what works in the real world, how real people have implemented this interface, how it is working out, and what issues have been
addressed in two real world use cases. Finally a recap on actual
steps to help implement this in your own organisation.

Introduction to Recipes for Agile Governance in the Enterprise (RAGE)Cprime
Large enterprises that develop software cannot function without structure, but often develop structures that cripple productivity and impair responsiveness to customer needs. This Webinar introduces an approach to building effective structures by introducing the concept of Agile governance.
Agile governance provides formalized practices for decision making (governance) which incorporate the principles of the Agile Manifesto and Lean Engineering. The result is a set of simple recipes for selecting, planning, organizing, and tracking work at all levels in the organization (the Portfolio, Program, and Project levels), which apply within or across Business Units. We also provide guidance on how to develop new recipes, when needed.
This webinar introduces the basic concepts of Agile governance. We will look at some existing concepts (such as Scrum of Scrums and SAFe), and lay the foundations for subsequent webinars that address specific scenarios of common interest.

5 Continuous Improvement Tools for Process SuccessKashish Trivedi
The process of continuous improvement begins with incremental enhancement. You’re on the right track if you’re thinking of minor tweaks. For example, lean production starts with fine-tuning the issue of waste. You initially make small changes to achieve that goal. Waste is anything that doesn’t add value to the process or the result.
Your journey of removing waste from a process begins with using a continuous improvement tool to create a strategy for your team. The strategy can be something as simple as upskilling.

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
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
