Leading an Agile team calls for unexpected changes and typical project management tactics. You simply can't approach an Agile Project with the same mentality as you usually use. Agile teams are self-organized, self-directing, and lack a hierarchical structure that often defines project management. But even with the lack of common elements, you can be a team leader and guide your project to success. Even if you're not familiar with coding or software development, understanding the Agile manifesto, and the basics of Agile project management, you can be a valued part of the team.
Within this book you'll learn:
- The principles of Agile development
- Different methods to guide your team toward success
- How to keep team members accountable
- Your role within the Agile team and how to best act as a leader
- How to address conflict and tension within your team
- Valuable tools to use to help your team communicate clearly and collaborate effectively
- How to manage the events that drive Agile projects
Managing an Agile project can go smoothly if you use the principles and constructs of an Agile team the way they were intended. Some modern tools have made that even easier, but you'll always need to have a grip on the human element of team management as well. By expanding your knowledge of Agile, you can balance the importance of people, the usefulness of tools, and the value of the principles laid out in the Agile Manifesto.
Gain a broader understanding of Agile project management using Scrum.
Do you want to make your team more agile?
Do you want to be able to recover quickly when the unexpected happens?
Do you want to stay focused on what's important and get rid of tasks that aren't?
The answer is Scrum, a project management framework that lets you do just that. It can help you organize your team and get everyone working together towards shared goals, no matter how big or small the project. In Agile Project Management With Scrum, we'll show you how to use this powerful tool to create a more effective and efficient workflow.
In this book, you will:
- Discover and take a deep dive into the science behind Scrum.
- Understand the basics of agile projects and then dive into the management of agile projects.
- Discover the ScrumMaster.
- Learn about planning a Scrum project.
- Master DSDM and its techniques.
- Understand agile project development
- Learn about the deployment process
- Discover the use of Scrum in scaling projects.
This book will teach you how to use the Scrum method of project management, which uses short sprints and constant feedback from your team members to help you stay on track and deliver your project on time.
It's full of practical advice and easy-to-follow steps that can be applied to any project, from small to large.
No mundo, a incidência e regularidade de fenômenos climáticos como inundações aumentam em frequência e magnitude, provocando efeitos impactantes nas instalações de saúde. Os ambientes de saúde podem ter os impactos na edificação amplificados em função das soluções arquitetônicas, quando os espaços de arquitetura são projetados distanciados da percepção dos riscos e dos efeitos que poderão incidir nos ambientes. Acompanhada de um discurso no qual a Arquitetura assume um papel de destaque como ferramenta para Hospitais Seguros, a OMS propôs um despertar conceitual, enfocando a realidade sobre a vulnerabilidade dos hospitais da atualidade.
O livro se debruçou em propostas conceituais para as reflexões arquitetônicas, integrando um diálogo com os vértices do tema Hospital Seguro e Biossegurança com estratégias fundamentais para compreender o desenho de um hospital através do entrelaçamento de duas disciplinas convergentes, que são a Biossegurança e o Hospital Seguro. Conciliou o entendimento das complexidades que compõem o ambiente de saúde e as imagens que representam a segurança, expressas pelas soluções alcançadas para a Arquitetura. Os principais argumentos deste livro foram desenhados como suporte para o desenvolvimento das avaliações arquitetônicas a respeito da globalização e de mudanças climáticas, vistas aqui como um possível mecanismo propulsor dos desastres naturais.
On a boat they built themselves, two determined souls chartered a life of dreams and discovery.
Helen Olson and her husband, Elmer, retired in their late forties to sail the Pacific Ocean and Oceania from 1979 - 1989 on a fifty -foot yacht they built themselves. 'Sailing Elysium' is a personal account of that ten year adventure, as they immersed themselves in the cultures and traditions of the local people, venturing to twenty-seven major stay-overs in twenty-one countries. They left their secure moorage to sail down the coast of North America, crossing the Pacific Ocean from Panama, while stopping at the many islands to the south and west. They enjoyed inviting people from diverse populations into their home on the sea. Each stop added to their pleasure and increased their knowledge of the unique cultures of the island inhabitants. Most of the time they stayed long enough to develop lasting friendships. Helen says, ' Fear did not divide us from the understanding we gained.' Helen and Elmer's openness, curiosity, and eagerness to hear people's stories is what allowed their friendships to form around the world. 'Sailing Elysium' not only takes the reader to these far-away places, it gives a voice to the fascinating stories shared by the indigenous people met along the way.
Is the human body built for Mars? NASA's studies on the International Space Station show we need to fix a few things before sending people to the Red Planet. Astronauts go into space with good vision and come back needing eyeglasses. Cognition and DNA expression could be affected for years. And then there's the discomfort of living in a tight space with crewmates, depression, and separation from the people you love.
Space doctors are on the case. You'll meet the first twin to spend a year in space, the woman who racked up three physically challenging spacewalks in between 320 days of confinement, and the cosmonaut who was temporarily stranded on space station Mir while the Soviet Union broke up underneath him. What are we learning about the human body?
As astronauts target moon missions and eventual landings on Mars, one of the major questions is how the human body will behave in 'partial gravity.' How does the human body change on another world, as opposed to floating freely in microgravity? What can studies on Earth and in space tell us about planetary exploration? These questions will be important to the future of space exploration and to related studies of seniors and people with reduced mobility on Earth.

A presente obra é o resultado de mais de dois anos de pesquisas realizadas no âmbito do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos Marítimos da Escola de Guerra Naval (EGN) acerca dos desenvolvimentos de navios mercantes autônomos, parcialmente autônomos e remotamente controlados. Adaptação de dissertação defendida em 2019, o livro mapeia as pesquisas realizadas sobre o tema e apresenta, de maneira exploratória, a relação entre essa emergente tecnologia e os aspectos operacionais, ambientais e econômicos do transporte marítimo.
Os possíveis impactos da utilização de navios autônomos para a segurança da navegação são apresentados, debatidos e analisados à luz da teoria das inovações disruptivas, e das comparações históricas de períodos similares de intensas transformações marítimas. Ao abordar conceitos e fundamentos da navegação comercial, o texto contribui com debates relevantes de interesse de acadêmicos de Estudos Marítimos e demais interessados nas Ciências do Mar.
Many weapons and inventions were credited with winning World War II, most famously in the assertion that the atomic bomb 'ended the war, but radar won the war.' What is less well known is that both airborne radar and the atomic bomb were invented in British laboratories, but built by Americans. The same holds true for many other American weapons credited with the Allied victory: the P-51 Mustang fighter, the Liberty ship, the proximity fuze, the Sherman tank, and even penicillin all began with British scientists and planners, but were designed and mass-produced by American engineers and factory workers. Churchill's American Arsenal chronicles this vital but often fraught relationship between British inventiveness and American technical might.
At first, leaders in each nation were deeply skeptical that such a relationship could ever be successful. But despite initial misunderstandings, petty jealousies, and continuing differences over priorities, scientists and engineers on both sides of the Atlantic found new and often ingenious ways to work together, jointly creating the weapons that often became the decisive factor in the strategy for victory that Churchill had laid out during the earliest days of the conflict. While no single invention won the war, without any one of them, the war could have been lost.
Weltweit müssen für elektrische Anlagen und Betriebsmittel neben der Einhaltung lokaler Vorschriften im Rahmen internationaler Lieferkettengesetze auch Strukturen moderner Elektrosicherheit geschaffen und nachgewiesen werden, um auf dem internationalen Markt bestehen zu können.
Dieses Buch wurde geschrieben, um sowohl das Management der Elektrosicherheit beziehungsweise die Rolle als Verantwortliche Elektrofachkraft mit ihren unterschiedlichen Faktoren und Auswirkungen zu beschreiben als auch die Unterstützung beim Aufbau einer adäquaten Struktur zu bieten, ohne sich dabei auf einzelne Normen oder zumeist rein nationale Gesetze berufen zu müssen.
