Новые пути наверх

В IT-сообществе принято считать, что мы живем в золотой век меритократии. Ты учишь стек, приносишь пользу бизнесу, растешь в грейдах и капитализируешь свои знания. Но если присмотреться к трансформации рынков за последние 10 лет, становится заметно: старые правила «капитализма свободных агентов» заменяются чем-то, что больше напоминает неосословную иерархию.Сегодня ты не просто создаешь продукт — ты арендуешь право на существование у владельца инфраструктуры.

Еда из насекомых: дешевле ли кормить человечество сверчками и мухами?

Сейчас оптимизируют все и везде, и не только в ИТ: логистику, энергетику, производство, медицину. Даже в сельском хозяйстве чаще начинают считать эффективность почти как инженеры: сколько ресурсов уходит, сколько получается продукта и можно ли систему сделать быстрее, дешевле и компактнее.И вот в привычном агропроме появляются… сверчки, мухи или львинки. И они уже даже используются в пищевой промышленности. Пока в основном в кормах для животных, но не только. Первыми под прицелом,... Read more

Уровень зрелости проектного менеджера и что с ним делать

Методологий проектного управления много, а работают они не у всех. Одна команда запускает проект за пару недель и далее успешно его реализует в соответствии с требованиями заказчика. В то время как другая буксует месяцами на тех же инструментах и практиках. Этот тезис важен также в контексте зрелости руководителя \ менеджера проекта и среды, в которой он реализует проект. Суперпрофессиональный менеджер проекта будет далеко неэффективен в незрелой системе управления проектом. Но... Read more
