Thumb rules rule indeed!!!

This I think will be a pre-final post. Here important observations that I had about project management will be documented.

There are various stages of any project. Though i dont know the specifics, but i'll put them under tags that may be useful

Freeze and I'll walk on water

In continuation with the previous post, here I'll put down all observations that I could document during the summers with my team EASSy at L&T Infotech.

    We had a headsup the next day, and I was totally in a different world. Surprisingly ever individual in our team tried to do all the 'to do' tasks, hence me a zombie. Some tasks were obviously left undone.

Screw it!! Let's Do it!!

We prepared our ideas the next day for presentation. In the mean time were introduced to two new members from K.J.Somaiyya College.

Our ideas were heard upon in silence. We thought, we are through to have a project to work on with the topics at hand.
To our surprise, Nolly Sir and Sanjay Sir both pointed out numerous flaws. They explained that having an idea is just not enough. Only when there are ways to implement it, things should be worked upon.

what is it 'to think'...

In continuation with the previous post, we started thinking for the first time since we were born.
It is a painful process thinking, truly and maan, this was TWO ideas per person. We started using white-board to draw something out of our blank boards.

We realized that brainstorming indeed works!! fundamental questions, they indeed bring out solutions. We came up with fresh perspectives and finally managed to pull of 1 idea.
This set us up with tremendous energy and enthusiasm. We really opened up and started thinking about fundamental problems in an enterprise setting.
