UN labor body has predicted a wipeout of 6.7% of working hours globally, equivalent to 195 million job losses. Over a million people have already lost their job in the USA alone, and the number continues to grow. Several experts and statistics had been indicating an impending economic slowdown from as early as February 2020. However, what is worst is that until the resolution of COVID-19 is identified and made popularly available, experts cannot even start to predict the extent, length, and depth of the recession that we are already in. Speaking on a very generic term, we can say that the asset market as a whole has crashed. TimesJobs’ survey named “Coronavirus & its impact on Jobs” suggests that: * 63% of people indicate that their work has undergone a significant change due to COVID-19 and the lockdown. * 33% of people mentioned that they had to put a hold on their business travel plans. * Among the worst-hit industries are the travel and tourism sector, along with sev...

What is Lean Six Sigma? Six Sigma is about improving quality and eliminating defects. The consolidation of Lean and Six Sigma has helped quality improvement in the organizations that have adopted the Lean Six Sigma methodology. Lean is about improving efficiency by removing waste; whereas, Six Sigma is about reducing defects or eliminating variations in the production process. When we combine Lean with Six Sigma, they help in productivity and customer satisfaction.   Six Sixma follows the framework DMAIC – Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. This framework helps in understanding the root cause of problems. It also helps in implementing a solution that will solve the problem permanently.

This is because they don’t have complete knowledge of the Lean Six Sigma...

The Traditional Waterfall V/s the Revolutionary Scrum: Before we get into Scrum, let’s look at the waterfall method to understand how Scrum is different from the traditional approaches. The waterfall follows a lengthy and time-consuming process in developing a product. It goes through various stages, such as the plan, build, test, review, and deploy the final product. The waterfall model doesn’t shift to the next step without completing the previous step, removing the scope of overlap of tasks to optimize the process. Since project managers make all the significant decisions at the start, it takes months to complete the planning process, then goes for building, testing, and reviewing. As the final product gets delivered after a considerable lag, the final product often becomes partially obsolete by the time it is released. The process takes several years for a product to be ready after several times of back stepping into the process. Often, the development team begins working on...

Agile is a buzzing project management outlook with teams scrambling to adopt agile methods and practices. The requirement for a new project management mindset was generated out of frustration from the growing time lag between the realization of requirements and the delivery of final product/project or software persistent in the waterfall model of project management. The “tell me everything you require” method of project management started facing a lot of issues. Documentation of the requirements during the inception of the project took ages and by the time the final deliverables were rolled out, there were shifts in the requirements making the final product partially obsolete. In this article, we will explore the 12 principles of the Agile Manifesto. The Agile Manifesto is a set of directives that enable teams working in varied environments to continuously learn, grow and deliver value to the clients . The principles of Agile welcome changes and make the customer the foc...
