4 T's - Technology, Time, Teamwork, Transparency

1) Technology:

Software development technologies are the tools and methods that developers use to design, develop, test, and deploy software applications. These include a wide range of software technologies, such as programming languages, frameworks and libraries, databases, and cloud computing platforms.

2) Time:

A timebox is a fixed time period within which a deliverable must be produced in a project management context. It's a time management technique that involves dividing time into individual time periods, each with its own goal, duration, and deadline. Timeboxes are self-contained calendar events that can't be extended once they've started. The fundamental principle of timeboxing is that time in timeboxes can't shift, and once the time runs out, work must stop, even if the task isn't finished.

3) Teamwork:

Teamwork in project management is a measure of how well a project's team works together to achieve a goal. It involves collaboration, communication, and resourcefulness to meet project needs and deadlines. Teamwork also depends on the team's familiarity with each other and the project's requirements, as well as the project manager's leadership.

Some common types of team building activities include:

Personality based: Help teams improve their performance by increasing communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution
Activity based: Games and other activities
Skills based: Programs and techniques
Problem-solving based: Initiatives and activities

4) Transparency:

Transparency in project management is the act of sharing project information, goals, and progress with all team members and stakeholders in an open manner. It entails establishing a culture of open communication and trust, where team members can comfortably share updates, ask questions, and provide feedback. By implementing transparent project management processes, each person participating in the project gains a comprehensive grasp of their individual responsibilities, the project scope, and its objectives. Drag and drop tasks in the Board view to keep everything flowing and updated for the entire project team.

Delivering a project within budget

Here are some tips for delivering a project within budget: Set a realistic budget Define the project's scope and necessary resources, and create a budget that's realistic. Cost estimate Segment the project into smaller tasks and milestones to plan how to use resources and provide clarity. Divide the project plan Break down the project into tasks to avoid late deliverables and over-budget projects. Monitor progress Regularly track the project's progress to identify and prevent cost overruns. Use progress reports to compare actual costs to the budget. Anticipate and revise changes Communicate with stakeholders to identify and assess risks, and assign owners to each risk. Consider different scenarios Estimation can be difficult for complex projects with many potential outcomes. Tracking: Tracking time spent on tasks, Tracking expenses per project, and Using project management software. Use Historical Data Your project is likely not the first to try and accomplish a specific o...

Certified Enterprise Architect Professional (CEAP) - Module 5 - Architecture Frameworks

Architecture Frameworks: An Architecture Framework is a theoretical structure that has the purpose of developing, executing, and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture. Advantages of EA framework: Simplify Breaks down areas of the business process Organise business components and create and identify relationships between business Determine the scope Customization in the existing framework Disadvantages of EA framework: Need to follow process Provides only direction and not information It's based on goal and objective Need creativity and proactive thinking Zachman Framework: The Zachman Framework is a widely used model in Enterprise Architecture (EA) that provides a structured way to classify and organize an organization's information infrastructure by defining different perspectives from various stakeholders, allowing for a holistic view of the enterprise and facilitating alignment between business needs and technology solutions; essentially acting as a template to organize arc...

Bucket System project estimation

The Bucket System is an Agile estimation technique that uses predefined buckets to group tasks or user stories by size, complexity, or effort. Each bucket represents an estimate range, such as small, medium, or large. The Bucket System is a group activity that helps align the team's understanding of work effort and complexity. It's a good technique for quickly estimating a large number of items with a medium to large group of people. The effort of small, medium, or large bucket size arrived by team based on T-shirt sizing, PERT estimation or Planning Poker. Each bucket represents a level or an estimate range (e.g., small, medium, large). The team compares user stories to one another and places them into the appropriate buckets. This process is a group activity, promoting discussions and aligning the team's understanding of work complexity and effort. To use the Bucket System: Set up a row of cards, or buckets, with values in the Fibonacci sequence or other metho...
