Project Management

Although a development team does most of the work, it is the project manager that is running the development process. All human activity that involves carrying out a project needs a plan. We call this Project Management. But there is a big difference between projects that involve one or two people and projects that involve large numbers of people. There is always a smaller group of individuals behind all larger groups that is planning, directing, and motivating those people. There are three main parts to project management: start date, finish date, and all the tasks that need to be carried out. When the plan starts to involve different things happening at different times, most of which are dependant upon each other, the plan can start to take up an enormous amount of time and space. This is why you must start with a strong plan. Now days there are computer programs that tend to produce answers long after the events have taken place. These project planning and scheduling programs provide real information, risk analysis, time recording, costing, estimating and many other types or project management. But these programs are not at all project management.

Project management is control, leadership, teamwork, managing of resources, and a basic knowledge for the project. Project managers are found in every industry, from architects to policeman. There is a demand for more and more people who have the necessary skills it takes to manage a team or a project. The main concerns of a project manager are time, quality, and cost control. These are what drive these managers to be the most efficient as possible. “The success of a project will depend upon the effort, care and skill you apply in its initi...

As we move into the future there is more and more demand for great leaders no matter the line of work you are in. It seems that less people are able to think for themselves anymore, it is like everyone is becoming robots to technology. I feel that this is creating an enormous door for the people who can lead others into this new frontier. It seems that there are fewer people who have the skills or even who are willing to do this. There are great rewards for the people who recognize this new movement and want to take control of large businesses. So as time moves on we will see how this new technology revolution ends up and who the leaders will be.

  • The Decrease of Teen Pregnancy in America

    781 Words  | 2 Pages

    Studies show that within the last seven years there has been a dramatic drop in the number of teen pregnancies. Teen pregnancy is best known as, the act of getting pregnant between the ages of fifteen and nineteen. Teen pregnancy does not come with much of a history. In the past, (mostly in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s) it was common for girls to be married between the ages of fourteen and sixteen and give birth not long after. Some girls were having babies as young as thirteen and fourteen years old! During the times that young girls would bear children and be married so young, college and education was not an important factor. As a young girl you learned how to take care of your house, farm, laundry, crops, animals, husband, and children. The father was your main source of income. Obviously things in our time are very different. Over the years a growing importance for education and making a living on your own has become crucial to many women. It was no longer important to have children so soon, but to learn to be a strong, educated, and independent woman. Even now as time has gone by, the image of being a pregnant teenage girl has been glorified solely by media. It becomes less important to get an education so you can get a good job and be able to raise a child and give them a good life, and more important to get pregnant and get a chance to be worshiped nationally on t.v. for being pregnant and making all of your money through fame.

  • The Role Of Baptism And The Eucharist

    1717 Words  | 4 Pages

    Sacraments are the means, which Christians partake in the mystery of Christ through symbolic actions. Alister E. McGrath described the Sacraments as “Outward signs of the visible grace of God”. Consequently, since the beginning of Christianity, Christians have practiced many different sacraments. However, Western theologians limited the sacraments to include the ones that Christ instituted. As a result, the Sacrament of Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, Extreme Unction, Orders and Matrimony became traditional in the West. Accordingly, Baptism and the Eucharist are highly esteemed because of references in the Gospel of Matthew, the Thirty-Nine articles of the Church of England and they are differentiated as the two Sacraments ordained by God. Although, the Sacraments vary from one denomination to the next the Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, Reformed, Wesleyan and Radical Reformers all practice the Sacraments of Baptism and, the Eucharist (Lord’s Supper).

  • Confirmation In The Catholic Church

    1285 Words  | 3 Pages

    Confirmation deepens and strengthens the gifts of the Holy Spirit that we receive through Baptism. Confirmation is always celebrated by the Bishop of the diocese, this is because Bishops are the successors of Christ’s apostles and have received the fullest form of the sacrament of Holy Orders so this process began the practice of confirmation so their successors could continue it as local leaders of the Catholic Church. By celebrating the sacrament of Confirmation, they show that one of the purposes of Confirmation is to join its recipients more closely to the Church and to Christ. The most important effect of Confirmation is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in to the recipient. Just as the Baptism did, Confirmation gives an ineradicable character to its recipients- this is why you can only be confirmed once. ‘Ineradicable’ means “unable to be removed” the character given at Confirmation marks recipients permanently and spiritually as people of Christ. Your role changes once you receive Confirmation, your role is strengthened in the Spirit to the fulfill one of the following roles: priests who intercede with prayer, prophets who are unafraid to stand up and speak freely for God or kings who are nothing less than the children of God. The Bible states “Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samar’ia had received the word of God, they sent to them
