Understanding Modern Phone Habits: A Cultural Perspective
Do you remember rotary phones? We used to look up the number in the phonebook or enter it from memory. We lined up a series of digits one after another. The phone was fixed. If you didn’t catch it, you had no idea who was calling. Sometimes we ran to pick it up, sometimes we…

Project Management-7: Optimizing Procurement Like Online Shopping
Project Management: What Ordering Online Taught Me About Procurement Before ordering anything online, we spend hours reading reviews, comparing prices, checking specs, reading more reviews, and double-checking if we made the right decision.

We continue our project management series with a question: Is success measurable?Let’s be honest — to your managers, you’re just a bunch of statistics.If something can’t be quantified, it doesn’t matter.
