You might be able to define Agile project management, but the best way to understand it is to learn how the different methods can help your business. (Getty Images) The connecting concept for all the methodologies is flexibility, the main reason why Agile – which often requires teams to work in a series of short bursts – is different from the traditional project management process. “Many times, requirements are not fully known at the beginning of a project,” says Rachel Lamb, owner of Rachel Lamb & Associates and project management instructor at Purdue University. “Those short iterations allow a team to adapt to changes in requirements and also continually improve.” What Agile Is and How It Works Agile project management grew out of a need to more effectively respond to change in software projects. The Agile Manifesto , written by a group of software developers in 2001, encourages customer collaboration, individuals and interactions, and creating working software. Elements like pro...

You’re at the end of your junior year of high school with a list of colleges that interest you because of their history department, the great hiking trails in the nearby mountains or their football team. You’ve also faced some mental health challenges, and the COVID-19 pandemic didn’t help. And maybe you wonder if your preferred colleges will meet your mental health needs. The answer is reassuring: Most colleges have counseling centers and provide accommodations for documented mental and physical health issues, learning differences and other areas where students may need assistance. Administrators recognize that anxiety, depression and substance abuse among students are on the rise, and the need for these services has increased. “There will be no judgment,” says Marcus Hotaling, director of the Eppler-Wolff Counseling Center at Union College in New York and president of the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors. “College administrators have seen and heard ...

As Elon Musk is engulfed in his overhaul of Twitter, the entrepreneur is headed to trial to defend his record $56 billion Tesla Inc pay package against claims it unjustly enriches him without requiring his full-time presence at the carmaker. A Tesla shareholder is seeking to rescind Musk's 2018 pay deal, claiming the board set easy performance targets and that Musk created the package to fund his dream of colonizing Mars. Tesla has countered that the package delivered an extraordinary 10-fold increase in value to shareholders. The trial begins Nov. 14 and will be decided by Kathaleen McCormick on Delaware's Court of Chancery. She oversaw Twitter's lawsuit against Musk that ended last month when he agreed to close his $44-billion deal for Twitter, an acquisition which he financed largely with his Tesla stock. "If Musk loses this pay package in some massive way, I think we can expect to see a lot of things that are going to be really hard to predict, like what happens go...

Even more so, with the slow but steady progress that Android apps continue to make on Windows OCs, with Google Play games now reaching the beta stage, in some countries. The future is bright.

The super-premium ones, where price no bar and specs no bar, which should tick off the longevity in terms of performance. Then there are more affordable ones (now some are even well under the ₹1,00,000 figure). The HP Omen 16 range, which is quite extensive to say the least, has a foot in both price bands. The variant we are talking about here, the HP Omen 16-B1361TX now has a price tag of around ₹1,45,999 which pegs it close to the midpoint in this range. Gamers worry about three things largely, before considering the other aspects – the processor, graphics, and display. On ...

Whether you’re just starting your college search or are already in your first years on campus, you’ve likely looked closely at majors, assuming your choice will pave the path for your career goals. But you may be surprised to learn that the clubs and extracurricular activities you participate in could have as much impact as your major on your post-college job. “I don’t want to downplay the importance of academic knowledge, but with the exception of professional fields such as teaching, nursing, engineering and IT, most majors don’t align with a specific industry,” says Mimi Collins, director of content strategy at the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Brian McEuen, who graduated from the University of California—San Diego in 2013, says finding the right extracurricular activity was his first step toward a meaningful career. He arrived on campus planning to be premed, and with a recruited walk-on position on the volleyball team. But a month into his freshman year, he was ...
