With a sweets-pack in hand and the prizes in sight, the grade 3 learners were very eager to start drawing those happy faces. As each of them handed in their drawings, their faces beamed with pride and anticipation!
They filled our team's hearts with joy, and indeed, made all of us, "Happy People!" The winner of this year's competition: Mahfuz Naino

Project monitoring and control is one of the most important activities in the modern software development process. Without an objective and realistic monitoring and control of software project, there is no appropriate visibility of progress and the development of software process cannot be managed effectively.

www.qsm.com 1. INTRODUCTION This third QSM paper is based on the quantitative Agile Release plan developed knowing the team performance of a development organisation (Ref. 5). The team performance is quantified by the QSM Performance Index (PI) and is used to quantify the scope of the Agile Release and evaluate development cost alternatives (Ref. 6).
https://www.benlinders.com/ In the article can scrum help to improve a project management process, Javier Garzás and Mark C. Paulk explore how Scrum and the project management process areas of the Capability Maturity Model Integration for Development (CMMI-DEV) are related: Scrum, originally described by Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber, has emerged as one of the most popular agile methods. Scrum could be described as a project management methodology, or an iterative and incremental development framework.
When people think of IT Governance, and even IT Management, few think naturally of project, programme or portfolio management. Conversely, when people think about project, programme or portfolio management in IT environments, few think of IT Governance or Management. Even today, yes even in this post millennium day and age of integration and alignment, IT Governance and Management, and project, programme, portfolio management seem to many to be parallel universes which, in their minds, never meet.
Manufacturers and transactional firms share a drive to lower costs, reduce cycle time and offer a diverse product mix as they pursue higher profits and an increased market share in a growing global environment. Consumers (those paying for the end product) want products or services that are cheaper, readily available and of a quality that meets their expectations.
Every company has projects that need managing and monitoring.
Every day, project managers are faced with difficult decisions, repetitive tasks, and complex analysis. Is artificial intelligence (AI) the assistant that project managers need?
AI is already entering our workplaces. It’s supporting support desks, chatting with customers, and taking on the boring tasks we don’t want to do. But as of yet, AI and project management have been slow to intermix. This could be set to change – and soon.
