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.
