Projects vs. Services

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

If you are a professional project/programme or service manager, probably this short article will sound funny- and match with some memories from your own experience.

And if you are a project manager who found that eventually the project that (s)he was managing became a project only by name- I can say that you are not alone.

If you have no time: go for the conclusions :)

Are you interested or involved in decisions about using outsourcing and web-based applications?

Then, business-oriented (i.e. non technical) post is for you.

How to define a contractual minimal level of security, with some examples.

Let me explain: not simply outsourcing, but also SasS (Software as a service).

If you do not understand what I mean… it is like GoogleDocs- the idea that you do not install software on your machine, and instead use a website to both give you the software and keep your documents.
