Project Management - Overview

Project Management is a key for any kind of project we do, even without we really plan it. Really. Without PM, at least in mind, it's hard to get something to go-to-market.

Flow of Project Management Process

1. Initiate
2. Planning
3. Executing
4. Controlling
5. Closing

Lets go deeper on each section

1. Initiate

Usually this come from the idea. Thought. The need to do something or some prospect want us to help them to build somehting.

2. Planning

This is part is 'renyah'/ pain in the butt. Why not we just kick that off right to development right? Yeah, as we grow older and matured. We pretty much make many projects. And yet, this one is kind of similar to previous one but, we want make this next project will be better and more polished. How we want to plan to use our time. We have lot of time but we forget what should we do. Some time we know to start but not finished it.

Have a deadline is important. Or at least set when it should be done. And sometime of course we hit it. We cannot do on time, sound familiar? And even we scrap the project due to valid reason. Yeah we have the experience. And we hope don't want to make that kind of problem.

It's easy to initiate a project that to be abandon. We want to plan on how we can finish the project.

3. Executing

This is a process that is require skill, talents, Googling and bravety to ask. And of course hard work.

It is advisable you do the 'feasability study' to know weather you capable to do the project or not.

4. Controlling

This is what I can say as to measure how to progress is going. Using tool like, many on the net, Asana, Trello, you name it. This is where we communicate about the progress we are doing. Weather on time, late, or early.

We propose to use a Numbers file which consist 'Project Charter' and 'Timeline'.

5. Closing

Time to celebrate right? Yes if it is a client project, they will do the next step which is marketing. We have to market our product. Let people know, understand, like, love and be our raving fan.

In this video they talk about their spiritual insight of the year.

3 Questions to ask yourself;

1. When was the last time you experience 'heaven on earth'?

2. If you had a magic wand, you can wave that wand anything could happen, what would you want to wave that wand at to create 'heaven on earth'?

3. So, what can you now do that small and easily doable, that you can do today, to help you bring about your idea of 'heaven on earth'?

Anatomy of Responsive Website

I'm investigating of some of latest trend of responsive website by Google.

Here is the infographic for a responsive page.

iPad Pro - Apa Kelebihannya?

iPad Pro.

Saya ada 3 iPad; iPad 2, iPad 3rd Gen Retina Display, dan iPad mini retina display.

Selepas itu nafsu nak beli iPad sudah tiada. Mungkin kerana tiada lagi evolusi yang menarik tentang iPad.

Namun iPad Pro yang dilancarkan pada tahun 2015 ini memberikan sedikit kelainan bila kita berfikir tentang iPad.

iPad Pro, secara umumnya adalah iPad yang lebih besar. Basically, skrinnya besar. Sebesar laptop Macbook Pro 13". Bayangkan anda tarik skrin laptop anda, dan ia jadi iPad Pro. LOL.

Jadi iPad Pro boleh jadi display yang bagus, untuk menonton video, beramai-ramai mungkin. Membaca buku (?) dan sebagainya. Ya, bagus untuk buat presentation ad-hoc. Atau untuk diletakan di booth, atau sebagai display dekat mall. Yelah, lebih besar dari iPad biasa dan saiznya lebih sesuai.

Saya pernah tengok penggunaan iPad biasa di Suria KLCC. Terasa iPad itu agak kecil untuk dibuat sebagai penunjuk arah digital. Kalau pakai Windows based solution, bapak besar TV pun boleh digunakan. So apa lagi cari peluang mall mana nak pakai iPad Pro ini.

OK, selain dari display yang besar. Ia ada kelebihan lain, iaitu boleh digunakan dengan stylus terbaru dari Apple iaitu Apple Pencil. Memang betul-lah kenapa dia dipanggil sebagai pencil bukan pen or stylus. Saya akan cerita lebih lanjut (hint: tengok video di bawah).

iPad Pro baru ni membuka ruang yang lebih serius untuk bersaing dalam kategori professional tablet yang sekarang ini di dominasi oleh Wacom. Ada juga artis guna Microsoft Surface, itu pun bagus juga untuk menconteng. Lebih dari itu, iPad Pro dikatakan dapat memberikan lebih peluang untuk mengekspresikan cara untuk melukis.

Wowo.

Jadi perlukah anda memilikinya. Kalau anda seorang artis illustrator, pasti berbaloi memilikinya sebab anda akan dapat balik ROI nya sooner or later.

Kalau bukan artis, sekadar pengguna biasa, gunalah PC or MacBook yang ada sekarang. Pesan untuk diri juga ni. ;)

Sebab ia ada berkaitan dengan ekonomi 2015 sekarang ini. USD sangat kuat berbanding RM. Jadi harga dia nampak mencekik. Tapi kalau anda berniaga or buat duit dengan USD, jom tingkatkan usaha untuk mengaut-gaut USD.

Ada rezeki akan ku milikimu iPad Pro! ... dan Apple Pencil.

Swift 2.0

On 2015 WWDC, Apple announced Swift 2.0. This new version has even better performance, a new error handling API, and first-class support for availability checking. And platform APIs feel even more natural in Swift with enhancements to the Apple SDKs.

Open Source

• Swift source code will be released under an OSI-approved permissive license.

• Contributions from the community will be accepted — and encouraged.

• At launch Apple intend to contribute ports for OS X, iOS, and Linux.

• Source code will include the Swift compiler and standard library.

• Apple thinks it would be amazing for Swift to be on all your favorite platforms.

New Features

In addition to new features, the big news is that Apple will be making Swift open source later this year. Apple is incredibly excited about this, and look forward to giving you a lot more information as the open source release gets nearer. Here is what Apple can tell you so far:

Apple is excited about the opportunities an open source Swift creates for our industry. Baked-in safety features combined with excellent speed mean it has the chance to dramatically improve software versus using C-based languages. Swift is packed with modern features, it’s fun to write, and Apple believe it will get used in a lot of places. Together, Apple has an exciting road ahead.

Swift 2.0 also includes a lot of new language features and refinements. Expect to see blog posts exploring the features in more depth, and be sure to watch for the WWDC sessions covering these topics all this week. A few of the new features include:

Error handling model: The new error handling model in Swift 2.0 will instantly feel natural, with familiar  try, throw, and catch keywords. Best of all, it was designed to work perfectly with the Apple SDKs and NSError. In fact, NSError conforms to a Swift’s ErrorType. You’ll definitely want to watch the WWDC session on What’s New in Swift to hear more about it.

Availability: Using the latest SDKs ensures you get access to new features and information about platform changes. But sometimes you still need to target an older OS, and Swift makes doing so much easier and safer. The Swift compiler now shows an error when you use an API that is too new for your target OS, and #available blocks can safely wrap lines of code to only run when on the right OS versions.

Protocol extensions: Swift is very focused on protocol-oriented development — there’s even a session on the topic at WWDC 2015.  Swift 2.0 adds protocol extensions, and the standard library itself uses them extensively. Where you used to use global functions, Swift 2.0 now adds methods to common types so functions chain naturally, and your code is much more readable.

Swift-er SDKs: Swift 2 works even better with the Apple SDKs, thanks in part to two new features in Objective-C: nullability annotations and generics. The SDKs have been updated to annotate API that cannot return nil so you don’t need to use optionals as often. And with a true generics system employed by the SDKs you can more often preserve detailed type information in your Swift 2 code.

This is just a taste of what’s new in Swift 2. You can download the latest version of The Swift Programming Languagefrom the iBooks Store, and be sure to watch the WWDC sessions live streamed and on video throughout the week. And to read more, visit http://developer.apple.com/swift
