» Why Use BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement)?
Article Rating (2409 Views) (0 Comments)
A good negotiation method should protect you from making a bad agreement or rejecting one that you should accept. For example, if you implement a bottom line – by establishing in advance your worst acceptable outcome, such as the lowest price you’d accept for an item you’re selling – you’re limiting your options if circumstances should change durin...

» Who Does QA? Hint: Not your testers!
Article Rating (2208 Views) (0 Comments)
Many of us have Quality Assurance (QA) groups in our organizations, and the natural assumption might be that these groups are responsible for the quality of our products. For a few of us, that assumption might hold true, but for most organizations, the QA group cannot be held responsible for quality because they don't actually assure quality. What ...

» Improving Your Presentation's 'Connection-ability' Part 2
Article Rating (2017 Views) (0 Comments)
Key to improving presentations is to focus on where your're audience is, not where you are, or where you want them to be. To do that, you must make a connection first. It is by making this initial connection that your "believe-ability" - your "buy-in" factor - and your "connection-ability" as a speaker are first made. Author: Tim McClintock, PMP

» Improving Your Presentation's 'Connection-ability' Part 1
Article Rating (1583 Views) (0 Comments)
"Life is a series of presentations!" I'm not the first to say that. Tony Jeary said it before I did, in his book of the same title. If life really is a series of presentations (and, as a business professional, you're going to be called on to present information) the question is, what are you presenting? What is your presentation saying? Author: ...

» Lessons Learned: It's Not Just a Good Idea...
Article Rating (1294 Views) (0 Comments)
Call them "Lessons Learned," "Retrospectives," "Postmortems," or whatever you wish; taking the time at the end of each project to look back is almost universally considered to be a good idea. In fact, I can't remember ever having someone tell me that they don't think it is a good idea. "Oh yes!" I am often told, "We should do them!" Author: Alan K...

» How Did You Get That Out Of What I Just Said? Five Rules to Communicating
Article Rating (2286 Views) (0 Comments)
Have you found yourself wondering those exact words just moments after a conversation with a co-worker? Or have you found yourself in a heated discussion because of something you've said to your spouse or loved one? Better still, your teenager gives you the "deer caught in the headlights" look when you ask where have they been so late at night? You...

» Never Let a Good Editor Go
Article Rating (1743 Views) (0 Comments)
When documenting systems, quality assurance requires quality support people, especially final content editors. They are worth their weight in gold-edged certificates. If you are part of a large project that has a very large documentation aspect, learn to nurture, develop and retain a good editorial staff, and do not forget to keep everyone's skills...

» Effective Stakeholder Relationships
Article Rating (1702 Views) (0 Comments)
Any project that is cancelled, not completed, or fails to meet its objectives and has to be written off, is obviously a waste of organization resources and time. However, it is also not enough just to successfully execute a project to completion. A successful project that is not implemented or used because it doesn't meet the customer's or user's r...

» The Next "Must Have" Certification? Certified Business Analyst Professional (CBAP)
Article Rating (4599 Views) (0 Comments)
So you have gotten your Cisco® or Microsoft® technical certifications to prove that you have mastered the technology; you've earned your Project Management Professional® to prove that you can plan and execute work effectively; what's next? For many of us it will be the Certified Business Analyst Professional (CBAP). This credential will...

» Introduction to Requirements: The Critical Details That Make or Break a Project
Article Rating (2773 Views) (0 Comments)
Every project has requirements. It doesn't matter if it's building hardware solutions, developing software solutions, installing networks, protecting data, or training users. For the project to be a success, knowing what the requirements are is an absolute must. Requirements exist for virtually any components of a project or task. For example, a p...
