...PRINCE2 Agile On the 23rd Oct 2014 by Jackie Hewett “Watch this space”- there’s a new qualification emerging from the AXELOS Best Practice stable! ‘PRINCE2 Agile’ is imminent, currently estimated for release end Qtr1 2015. PRINCE2 Practitioner will be a pre-requisite to obtaining the qualification and, as it’s still in development, the specific details of how PRINCE2 Agile will be tested are unclear. For the un-initiated: PRINCE2 is about managing projects in a controlled way. Even the term PRINCE2 itself stands for ‘PRojects In Controlled Environments’. It’s about top-down management and tight control, especially of any proposed changes to project scope / requirements. PRINCE2 entails having a clear understanding of the project business case, comprehensive project documentation with detailed, signed-off requirements, clearly defined accountability and responsibilities and high level decision making. PRINCE2 is not industry specific and can be used to direct and manage a project of any size or complexity. ‘Die hard’ PRINCE2 practitioners, especially those who have managed very large scale projects, tend to be highly suspicious of agile methods, believing it puts ‘developers in charge’ and does away with project management controls, making the project impossible to plan or cost. In fact what is the role of a project manager on an agile project and perhaps Agile should only be applied to small, low risk projects? AGILE is a term used (in the IT Industry) to describe...

...PRINCE2 reduces unknown factors by providing a defined approach in the form of processes, practices, standards, templates and PM tools. This obviously helps in improving performance and delivery since a shared, standardized approach is always easier to adopt rather than a customized or personalized approach. With the help of standardization tools, documents, communication and project procedures become more transparent and easy to apply across the board. A key aspect of PRINCE2 is “Tailoring”. Since standardization helps in applying this methodology across multiple industries and projects as described above, tailoring helps in making the methodology even more advantageous.( Dow, William 2009, pp. 345-351) PRINCE 2 defines tailoring as the appropriate use of PRINCE2 on any given project ensuring that there is correct amount of planning, control, governance and use of processes and themes. To put it simply, tailoring is done by the project management team to adapt the method to the context of a specific project. Tailoring involves adapting the PRINCE 2 method to both external and project factors. External factors to consider could be any corporate standards that need to be applied while project factors would include items such as the scale of the project. For example if there were two projects – one simple and the other to build the worlds’ tallest tower – a PM would still follow corporate standards in each case, but those for the tower could involve more in-depth work. And, in...

...Progress report Introduction This report is my first progress report and I will briefly discuss and explain my assignments, task, projects and achievements that I am involved in during my coop period at Rashed Abdul Rahman Al-Rashed & Sons Company at HRIS department from the first to the eighth week. Here is the list of topics that I will be discussing in this report: 1- SQL Server 2- OFOQ ERP System (Time Management) 3- Project SQL Server From the first day of my coop, my supervisor gave me an SQL database and a Microsoft SQL course CD to practice SQL. It took me a week to refresh and to get back on the right path. Moreover, he also gave me a documentation that has all of the information about the joins between the tables, so I can fully understand how to generate meaningful reports to the management. The next two weeks were about maintaining the database and how to perform a periodical database backup as figure 1 illustrates. Figure [ 1 ] SQL Backup Job OFOQ Human Resource System (Time Management) The company have two ways to record the employee’s attendance. First, by using the gates that are near the elevators.

...ADVANTAGE OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION Technical education is the crying need of India. India has had an over-dose of liberal education. Our education is incomplete and without any purpose if we do not receive some sort of technical education besides our liberal education. A just balance between liberal education and technical education needs to be maintained. Our British masters did not encourage technical education in 0ur country. The result was terrible unemployment. We depended up0n the industrial goods of other countries. Technical education enables student to pick up a skill with which he may make his living, even if he remains unemployed after taking up his graduation. We need an army of highly technical hands for our multi-purpose river-projects, steel factories, fertilizer industry, locomotive and air-craft manufacture. Even agriculture is being rapidly mechanized by means of tractors and bulldozers. We need more and more technicians to manufacture tractors in India. We need scientists and technologists with practical knowledge of banking, insurance and business organization which includes salesmanship and advertisement in all their numerous aspects. Technical knowledge is as vast as the sea. India is predominantly an agricultural country. Our peasants are idle for six months during the year. If they are trained in cottage industries, they can add to their income. Without developing our cottage industries, we cannot solve the grim problem of unemployment...

...Manual Transmission vs Automatic Transmision Ever since the automotive revolution began, there has been a battle between manual and automatic transmissions. Why are stick shift cars so popular anyway? They are more difficult to drive, and one must be skilled to drive them. Why not choose an automatic easy ride, which can turn driving in to comfort, especially while driving in heavy traffic? The truth is, driving a stick shift offers benefits that automatic does not. People who drive stick shift cars know the difference and the advantages of having total control of one’s car engine; people who drive cars with automatic transmissions do not. Cars with automatic transmissions are a great way to drive around because they do not require much driving skill. People who do not like to drive usually will choose an automatic transmission which is one of the main problems. People who drive cars with automatic transmissions often do not pay as much attention as they should. With an automatic car it makes it easier for one to text, eat, do make up, or even read while driving which can lead to an accident or even death. Cars with automatic transmissions have improved through modern chips that have developed better shifting and response when the driver just presses on the gas. Even with the modern advances, automatic transmission cars encounter problems with the transmission more often than stick shift cars. Although automatic transmissions are easier to drive, they are not as fun because...
