Management Knowledge Base
Introduction
How important is management?
Management is critical to the success of institutions, projects or even a trip or a vacation. Management performs planning, organizing, staffing, leading, directing, controlling, monitoring, budgeting, testing, documentation and motivation. in short, management is the difference between making it or breaking it.

The Art and The Science of Management
Management is both an art and science. The art includes God given talent such as looks, height, soft skills, passion, the ability to lead and interpersonal skills. Science is the fact that managers must have the knowledge of every aspect of their projects. In the case they are lacking any aspect, then they must search, learn, ask the experts and administrated to the experts. For example, a manager is like a restaurant owner who must manage his restaurant or hire experts to handle what he may not be able to do. Managers must take ownership of their projects. In the real world, the science part of management is too much to handle. Therefore we created our Project Management Planner (PMP) Framework as our aid to the science part of management. Our PMP was designed to have templates, trainings and tutorials to build and document projects. There is training and documentation on how to use our PMP.

Our PMP is created based on Project Management Institute (PMI)® - Approach (processes).

The goal of this page is to present our PMP documentation listings of plans, document and methodologies of both projects and management. Project and management teams can use our listing as a checklist of their projects and management plans and documentation.

This page is also our analysis for building an automated and intelligent PMP.

We are covering the following List in this page:

       • Procurement
       • Project Management (PM) Documentation
       • Project Management (PM) Plans
       • Deliverables

Procurement:
Bases on the project size and complexity, PM needs to select the types of documents-contracts which will be presented to the clients for both negotiation and approval. These documents-contracts will be created using our templates and they will be the basis for dealing with the clients:

Deliverables:
Project Deliverables are tabular lists of the artifacts to be produced during the project, with target delivery dates. This becomes project master deliverables list. It is also a great way to keep track of who is responsible for what, and is a cross-reference to your Project Timeline.

Statement of Work (SOW):
A statement of work (SOW) is a document used in the Systems Development Life Cycle. A software vendor or services company will send a SOW to notify a client of work about to be undertaken and agreed pricing.

Dates • Start and finish date • Deliverables and Schedule • Identify concrete and measurable steps
Resources & Budget • Applicable Standards • Special Requirements • Develop scope
• Location of Work • Estimate resources and budget needs
Priority and Risks • Have clear project priorities • Identify risks • Identify responsibilities
• Open communication and cooperation • Basis for acceptance and authorization • Define project success
Milestones • Major Milestones • Master Schedule • Milestone Schedule
Tasks • Activities • Artifacts • Unit of work and Work Pages

Unified Modeling Language (UML):
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a general-purpose, developmental, modeling language in the field of software engineering, that is intended to provide a standard way to visualize the design of a system.

Unified Modeling language (UML) is a standardized modeling language enabling developers to specify, visualize, construct and document artifacts of a software system. Thus, UML makes these artifacts scalable, secure and robust in execution. UML is an important aspect involved in object-oriented software development.

Diagrams • Use case diagrams • Class diagrams • Object diagrams
• Sequence diagrams • Collaboration diagrams • Statechart diagrams
• Activity diagrams • Component diagrams • Deployment diagrams

Rational Unified Process (RUP) :
RUP is a software development process from Rational, a division of IBM. It divides the development process into four distinct phases that each involve business modeling, analysis and design, implementation, testing, and deployment.

RUP • Iterations • Phases • Inception Phase
• Elaboration Phase • Construction Phase • Transition Phase

Agile:
Agile software development refers to a group of software development methodologies based on iterative development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams.

Agile • Design • Build • Configure
• Test • Release

Scrum:
Scrum is a specialized version of agile project management methodologies. Scrum projects are characterized by a product backlog - a list of tasks that come up while the sprint (a highly focused period where tasks are completed, generally running 30 days) is underway. The idea behind Scrum is to create a streamlined project management process that produces a quality end product.

Scrum • Stories • To Do • In progress
• Testing • Done • Scrum Master

Design Patterns:
a software design pattern is a general, reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem within a given context in software design. It is not a finished design that can be transformed directly into source or machine code. It is a description or template for how to solve a problem that can be used in many different situations. Design patterns are formalized best practices that the programmer can use to solve common problems when designing an application or system.

Creational Patterns • Singleton • Factory • Factory Method
• Abstract Factory • Builder • Prototype
• Object Pool
Behavioral Patterns • Chain of Responsibility • Command • Interpreter
• Iterator • Mediator • Memento
• Observer • Strategy • Template Method
• Visitor • State • Null Object
Structural Patterns • Adapter • Bridge • Composite
• Decorator • Flyweight • Proxy
• Façade • Private Class Data

Security:
We view security as levels of armors or shields and our thinking and approaches of Security Levels are as follows:

Security Levels • Networks • Software • Architect-design
• Development • Web Services • Data
• Hardware • Users • Employees
Security Approach • Sand Box Approach • Secure classloader • Bytecode Verifier
• Security Manager • Cryptography • Public Key Infrastructure
• Secure Communication • Access Control • Authentication
• Authentication • Authorization • Assurance
• Security Attributes • Secure Sockets • SSL Certificates
• Encryption • Compression • Firewalls

Infrastructure:
Infrastructure management and teams are responsible for architecting, building, managing and maintaining the entire software (clusters, virtual and bare metal servers) infrastructure and data centers. They work with Development, Testing, System Infrastructure, Sales Infrastructure and the rest of institution's departments. They perform analysis, architecting, documenting and tracking the building and the execution of the requested Infrastructures. They create specs-docs. Infrastructure docs-specs must be approved. These Docs-specs are given to offshore teams to build and test.

DevOps:
DevOps (development and operations) is an enterprise software development phrase used to mean a type of agile relationship between development and IT operations. The goal of DevOps is to change and improve the relationship by advocating better communication and collaboration between these two business units. We had architect our Intelligent DevOps Editor with "Turn Key" features requires that we must have a good handle on all the details of running infrastructure team (provider) and their clients. To have "Turn Key" features, we must address the needs of our editor end-users. "Turn Key" features would reduce if not eliminate any or all the interfaces between the infrastructure team and their clients. We leveraged Virtualization in building virtual networks.

Prototypes and Designing and Building Projects' Websites
We recommend that every project should have it own internal or external website for presentation, sharing and documentation, reviews and critics feedback. The site can also be the project prototype for teams, clients and stakeholders to view the project and its progress.
