...going to be a bit of a review. We've already talked about the Task Types, Fixed Work, Fixed Units and and Fixed Duration, but we're going to apply the Resources. So 00:00:19 we are going to assign the Resources that we've already created in the previous nugget and we're going to further explore W=UxD because they all work together. Depending on the Task Type, depending on the Units, the Resources, depending on the Work and the Duration, it's going to directly impact on the schedule calculations. So this nugget is really going to put it 00:00:42 all together. We already have our Tasks in Microsoft Project. We already have our Resources in Microsoft Project. This nugget 3.2, 3.3 is really going to put it all together and create our effective Project Schedule. And we'll start off in this basic plan that I have called Basic Scheduling Project. It's available to you on CBTNuggets.com. 00:01:06 And if we look at it quickly, there are five Tasks in this project plan, created in two parallel dependency streams - Tasks 1 through Task 3 and Tasks 4 through Task 5. And if we look at my Resource Sheet I have a number of resources. I have three human resources all 00:01:27 of Type Work, Initials R1 of R3 and only R1 and R3 are available to the project full time. And I'm not going to get into the breaking down of the resources into probably a more realistic 90% simply because it makes the math, the the mental math a lot harder to deal with. What's 90% of eight hours a day. I'm going...

I will investigate and search the problem and deliver a progress report in three weeks and the final report in six weeks. This time line will provide us time to explore and implement appropriate techniques. Introduction For the testing of software application, we will need expert programmers and testers. Our company has already 20 expert programmers and testers, so we will not be spending too much time on searching quality programmers and testers because we already have them from previous projects but we might have to hire few more.

...the ways to achieve that. A simulation game is a dramatic view of real life situations for the serious purpose of learning about real experiences in a controlled environment. Students of CEC from IIM Raipur created and conceptualized a simulation game, REAL-TY-COON. The main objective of the game is to replicate real life scenario of construction business. The game is based on the concept of demand and supply and how market prices of products are determined. The game consisted of 5 set of teams. 4 set of teams played the role of suppliers and 1 played the role of builders. The division of teams was done as follows: Team Type | Teams | No. of Players | Builders | 5 | 4 | Cement Suppliers | 3 | 2 | Sand Suppliers | 3 | 2 | Stone Suppliers | 3 | 2 | Steel Suppliers | 3 | 2 | The game has 5 rounds. In each round, builders have to build a specific building allocated to them. To build any of the buildings, they have to buy adequate amount of cement, stone, steel and sand from the suppliers. They will be provided with fixed initial amount of cash. Builders can approach bank to get additional cash at a fixed rate of 10% which will be applicable for that round only, carrying forward loan for each extra round will attract an additional 5% rate per round. In case the builders are not able to get a deal from the suppliers in the stipulated time, they need to purchase the required materials by the bank at a fixed rate which might be higher as compared to the market prices...

...time-management strategies that you may want to incorporate into your time-management routine. Test them out to see what works and what doesn’t work for you. It might be a good idea to start by monitoring and reflecting on how you currently use your time. First, some basic strategies: 1. Prioritise! You probably have a lot of things to do, so assess how important and how urgent the tasks are; then make sure high priority tasks get done first and are not put off on a regular basis. Avoid time wasters! 2. Be specific! Make the task as specific as possible - we tend to follow through then, especially if we write it down. For example, instead of telling yourself “I’ll do some statistics this week,” try “I’ll do 3 descriptive statistics problems Tuesday at 7pm.” 3. Small bite-size pieces! It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, so try breaking tasks down into smaller sub-tasks. Once you’ve started it’s easier to keep going. 4. Use all available time! This is an especially good strategy if you are pressed for time. You don’t necessarily need a block of time in order to study. Students often have time between classes, travel time, etc. There are lots of study tasks that can be accomplished in short periods, such as reviewing main points of a reading or a lecture. 5. Structure the environment! Find a place, preferably one you can use regularly and with limited distractions. Make sure you have all the essentials so you have no excuses. 6. Establish a routine! We are creatures of...

When a quiet period started it wasn’t nessesarily to keep a lot of staff so our boss decided to cut the staff off. I was in a bad position as long as I was less experienced then other team members. But I was passionate of this job and learned many things day buy day treated my job not just the way to get money but as a good place to get a qualification and become a professional in hospitality industry. The manager was noticing it and had a conversation with the boss to explain my potential and why they should keep me but others.

She did everything what I told her to do but did not tried to grow up and not to make me always keep an eye on her to make sure everything done giving me double work.

The strong scent of Cinnabon covering up the atmosphere Task #3 * Not only my dream but it has been my mother’s dream that I become a doctor. Becoming a doctor is not a very easy job to acquire. But anything is possible with hard work and motivation. If I were to become a doctor today I don’t know which doctor I would want to become but that doesn’t matter to me right now. I want to go to the University of Texas Austin. It is not a easy school to get inside of but once again with hard work it is possible. The reason I want to go to UT is because not only is it a good school but it also has one of the best Medical schools in the state. If there was any other option of university I had to go over UT it would be the University of Texas San Antonio, the reason why I would like this school to be my second option is because if you don’t get accepted into UT, UTSA allows you to transfer to UT If the grades are good and not only that but the university itself will reward you with scholarship money. * Task #4The things that I think that are most important are to me are hard work and reaching to your desired destiny.

...avoidance of doing a task which needs to be accomplished. It is the practice of doing more pleasurable things in place of less pleasurable ones, like carrying out less urgent tasks instead of the more urgent ones, thus impending tasks to a later time. But I’ll give you a more brief definition of procrastination in my own understanding and for me It means: *not being able to get started *staring at the wall * watching your favorite tv show or teleserye instead of accomplishing a certain task that needs to be done. * Using your mobile phones; Instagramming, twitter, facebooking, chatting etc. * stalking your crush on social media instead of doing your homework * killing the time by sleeping, eating and other activities like basketball, volleyball etc. that makes you avoid the priorities * gala ng gala kahit alam mong may project na dapat tapusin. But my point here is there are a lot of definitions of procrastination. Adults, young adults, and teens are very familiar with this type of attitude, because as a person it is one of the most basic norms. Let me tell you something about my own experience of procrastination, just recently when doing this speech I had a lot of excuses, Staring at a black word document page with no ideas of even starting my speech, so I got a little bored and I was tempted to go the kitchen and make myself a sandwich. Before you know it the “making of sandwich” turned into a 5 minute break for facebooking. And then I realized 3 hours has gone past...
