AI in PPM: Conversation with the Last Project Manager

By Alf Abuhajleh posted 7 days ago
Be the first person to recommend this.
As artificial intelligence replaces a variety of business workers, we sat down with the last project manager to talk about the end of an (human) era and how AI is making businesses more people friendly. The following excerpt is edited for length and clarity. Question: Did you expect this day to come? The end of the project manager? Answer : I’ve been a project manager for a very long time. When I first started, colleagues would ask me why I wanted to be a PM? I mean, “no one likes them” and “they’re a waste of time.” Well, the last 30 years or so has probably shown that I made a good career choice. But now the time has come when project management, or at ...

2 people recommend this.
Rapid development of Action Packs Actions are pre-defined tasks for executing single operations as part of the Workflow. They simplify constructing workflows by providing reusable, ready-to-use, and tested building blocks for frequently needed operations. Most actions are so-called CLI actions. Many of those already contain small Java programs that are delivered together with the action pack to accomplish more complex tasks. Although existing product capabilities already support an easier creation process, developing action packs still requires a lot of knowledge about Automic Automation objects as well as Automic Script.

Nowhere is the impact of digital product management , or DPM, felt more than when it comes to planning. The very foundation of planning for most organizations is the selection of the projects, initiatives, and investments that will drive most business value. With DPM, the focus shifts away from projects to the management of digital assets for their entire duration. And as that focus shifts to a longer timeline, so too must planning ...

1 person recommends this.
It’s inspiring to watch businesses coming to grips with the impact of COVID-19. In every industry, the more forward-thinking companies have stopped reacting to the current situation and instead are planning for a future after COVID-19. And they aren’t looking at it as a return to the old normal, but as an opportunity to create something new and exciting. Those are words you’ve probably not heard much lately – opportunity, exciting – but they are part of your future.

Shell scription: handling program execution dependencies/semaphore?

By Jörg Mertin posted 04-24-2020
Be the first person to recommend this.
Shell scription: handling program execution dependencies/semaphore? The main issue in shell-scripts is to execute several programs, and make sure one program runs before spawning the next one. Usually one takes external programs to handle these (the SystemV Init/systemD subsystem does this very nicely under Linux, in Docker containers one would use the supervisor application). But one use case where these other solutions won't help is during the deployment of an application, and one needs to make sure the database is installed and usable. The use case Imagine one wants to deploy a web-application requiring a database. The database will be taken from the ...
