Uber Co-founder Travis Kalanick's Newest Venture?  'Gainfully Employed Robots'

Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick launched a new venture that "will focus on creating 'gainfully employed robots' for the food, mining and transport industries," Bloomberg reports.

Отчетность для совета директоров: какие метрики показывают реальное состояние проектов

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Константин Капошко, я развиваю систему управления проектами Directum Projects и по работе часто встречаюсь с представителями разных российских компаний, чтобы понять их запросы и боли. Вот что я заметил: в компаниях проектная отчетность может выглядеть убедительно — есть статусы, светофор, регулярные встречи, презентации для руководства. На верхнем уровне создается ощущение, что ситуация под контролем. А потом один из стабильно зеленых проектов «внезапно» срывает сроки, выходит за... Read more
