Project Evaluation and Management, Second Partial

If I had to describe this semester in one word: Unexpected. This second partial has been very different to the start of the semester, with the global pandemic online classes were exiting at first, but now I know for sure I miss physical classes. There is something about the face to face interactions with everyone …

Deadline, Chapters 13 & 14

To be able to feel comfortable when reading chapter 13, we need make sure we know what the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is all about. In chapters 8 & 9 they mentioned this model, but this time they really talk about this with subjects like moving the staff from level 2 to 3, auditing and …

Deadline, Chapter 12

I have officially gotten to the point where I get the impulse of reading the last part of every chapter so I can learn what the project management laboratory results are, I mean I'll wait but I really want to know what the results are when running a group of 60, 17, and 7 all …

Project Evaluation and Management, First Partial

At the start of this partial I didn't know what to expect really, I thought it was going to be another theory class where we would just read some theory and learn management concepts, do tests, pass and on to the next class, but it has been way more than that. I have practiced a …

Deadline, Chapter 11

If there is something project managers seem to get used to over time is to be surrounded by problems, it even seems that some experienced managers don't get affected by them emotionally anymore. Giving it a good thought that seems like quite a challenge, to be able to put away all work problems when you …

Deadline, chapter 10

Finally a chapter where Webster is out of Morovia, it's kind of refreshing to imagine a different scenario in your head when you read. But what for sure is different than any chapter is the proposal from Dr. Jamid, it seems we jumped from management to artificial intelligence, specifically a way to measure hunches. AI: …

Home Office

"They feel as though they can get more personal work done. They feel that they are much more productive at work," What used to be an option some people had, now is a privilege many would wish to enjoy. Home office is now the best answer to keep up with work and protect the community …

Deadline, Chapters 8 & 9

New chapter, new kidnap case, to be honest I'm getting a little used to it but now they took it to another level. Best way to kidnap someone famous temporarily? Make it so he doesn't know he was kidnapped. Tomkins asks Rizzoli (the "kidnapped") about moving the entire staff from CMM Level 2 to Level …

Deadline, Chapters 6 & 7

"Was he up to it?" That is a question we have all asked ourselves, life isn't a movie where dreams come true after the struggle, failure is always a possibility and that is something we gotta have respect for, but the biggest failure in life is being afraid of failure itself. So as Tom does …

Deadline, Chapters 3,4,5

If something is for sure in this book, no matter how hard you try, you just can't predict what's coming next. I mean, I suppose if you kidnap someone you don't go ahead and take his entire house furniture so he wakes up in his own bed. But again in this book kidnapping is the …
