...trainings i attended yesterday...
...i attended 2 1/2 very short but knowledgeable "training" yesterday. this is what happened...
session 1 :: 4.00pm - 5.00pm :: ciast
my project manager conducted a short training for me - project management. there are 4 parts to the training. he only managed part 1 to 3.
3 main things to lookout for in project management - SCOPE, COST, TIME. usually management will push for COST - the cheapest best possible ways. customer will push for SCOPE - they want everything in the first rollout. and project managers will go for TIME - meeting deadlines! if all 3 parties dont come to an agreement on where to focus on, then all will be stucked in the middle - which is the no way out syndrome. so, how do we come to a consensus of where we are?
WBS and PRINCE. WBS - work breakdown structure. PRINCE - forgot the name.
WBS - breaking down the project in task that needs to perform. and each task is further break down into more task.
PRINCE - more towards product side. the break down of modules based. not by task. example, module 1, module 2, etc
then he told me the difference - WBS is what we are doing in TMS - project based. while PRINCE is what the zlab is doing, breakingdown into modules based - ERM, EIM, etc...
Crtical Path Methodology (CPM)
Calculation of the dates and stuff. Concept of Earliest StartDatevPossible, Latest FinishingDate Possible. how to calculate the delay time, the project duration, working backwards in the calculation, etc...
session 2 :: 8.10pm - 8.40pm :: bgf
alex gave a short training on the levels of awareness and some urgent/important management training.
the 4 levels of awareness
1. you do not know what you do not know
2. you know what you do not know
3. you know what you know
4. you dont need to know what you already know
unconscious, incompetent :: 1
conscious, incompetent :: 2
conscious, competent :: 3
unconscious, competent :: 4
if you do not know what you do not know, then that person might be called stupid. hahaha. if i know what you do not know, i am in charge.
the 4 levels can be explained in a way that - driving car; we are in level 4 of awareness.
we have to identify which level are we in while performing a task. once we have identify which level we are in, then we can know which level is our counterpart is in. by knowing that, then our goal is to bring our counterpart to the level which is the same as ours, so that a consensus can be made.
urgent vs important
what is urgent and important, the 4 quadrants of urgency and importance.
1. urgent, important
2. not urgent, important
3. urgent, not important
4. not urgent, not important
if we do enuff no 2, we wouldnt arrive at no 1.
if everything is at no 1, what we can do is NEGOTIATE.
what to negotiate on? MONEY, RESOURCES, TIME (almost the same as the project management one - COST, SCOPE, TIME)
if all are NON NEGOTIABLE, we SET EXPECTATIONS. like in my project lar, all also non negotiable.
session 3 :: 7.30pm - 8.00pm :: kanna curry house
a short chat with aaron. a wonderful talk about life.
an interesting day to have learnt so much from all the gurus.
