Auditing is not everybody’s cup of tea. It’s a job where person has too understand/grab very much in a very short span of time.People say that Auditing is a post mortem activity too an extent it is  right because of how the auditor conducts the audit.A Auditor is one who is like a police inspector trying to solve a case.So let us focus on the traits of Auditor that he/she must possess in order to be successful. 1.Knowledgeable:-Auditor should have understanding of product, service and industry of which he/she is auditing so that he can ask the right questions to auditee. He should not only have understanding of product but also about the standard so that he can start mapping in the audit itself to various clauses and make notes. 2. Attention to detail:-Auditee generally tries to give lengthy and detailed answers for a particular question So a good auditor is one who pays attention to detail and is able to filter out what is required for him. Attention to detail trait will a...

Definition of Done is highly essential for an efficient scrum based development.It actually helps in judging the status(completed/resolved) of work items.The status and completeness of work items can only be judged by Definition of Done.DoD actually helps in making the item potentially shippable.The definition of done is different for function,feature and release.In order to avoid confusion or make it more clear what scrum team/master can do is further breakdown the definition of done for better understanding. Imagine scrum team has a coding task,design task requirement task etc .In that case for each different types of task the DoD can be arrived and can be tracked for the success of sprint. Definition of Done for various lifecycle tasks are listed below which in turn can result in success of feature    Design task ·       Has the design undergone review and whether all review comments are closed or not? ·      Does the design...

Agile software development is not an easy methodology to adopt. There are lot of things which Agile demands and asks for faster execution and more micro level management .So traditional metrics which yields results in traditional software development may not be the best indicator .Agile development I would say more a mindset change rather than a methodological change .So the metrics which would help in defining the health of sprint are:- 1.Burndown chart :-Burndown chart is representation of amount of work completed across time.  It is useful for predicting when all of the work will be completed. It gives a predictability variant and indicates to scrum master about the progress of sprint. Normally work in agile is computed in form of story points 2.Capacity :-This is one of key metrics which needs to be computed in start of sprint and needs to be computed in planning ceremony of sprint.Based on the capacity scrum master and project teams discuss and take up the ...

1.Usage of tool : Whenever team decides to go for Agile .Team  decides and hunts for tool for Agile implementation. To be fair enough agile is more like a methodology, approach rather than tool. Yes there are tools which simplifies Agile implementation but as an Agile team is not mandatory 2.Agile Manifesto:- There are 4 principles present and Agile methodology preaches for successful Agile teams but most of team misunderstand the principles like they do not do documentation, they do not follow any processes and tools. But that is not what Agile preaches .To explain it more in precise way. Agile manifesto says ·          Individuals and Interactions  more than processes and tools ·          Working Software  more than comprehensive documentation ·          Customer Collaboration  more than contract negotiation ·   ...

Estimation is a rough calculation of work that can be done.So traditionally in software industry there were many methods for estimating the work or a activity.The estimation techniques like COCOMO,Function point were mostly used during previous times for estimating tasks.These were all statistically techniques and formulas were used in order to come to a rough value. Then came the  era of Project Management and almost whole industry quickly moved towards WBS estimation. WBS commonly known as Work breakdown structure is a method of breaking down the larger activities to smaller sub-divided executable tasks .WBS estimation based on the smaller tasks a time boxed duration and effort is assigned and then estimates are arrived. Mostly WBS estimation is done in a Microsoft project plan and done by Project Manager. It is recommended that he/she  should discuss with team and come up with probable estimates but hardly there would be very less project managers who follow this. Ultimat...

Before marriage I used to wonder how a husband wife relationship will live for years.They are strangers and mostly opposite minded personalities how can they stay for lifelong and spend their life.It is said that marriages are made in heaven and mine was no less than that.The time from when I saw her I actually started realizing that I also have a romantic side in me .i never in my wildest dreams believed that I would be having romantic side but it all happened It’s very early days in our marriage not even a year to be precise but the way you have understood me,taken care of me,loved me,cryed with me and enjoyed with me is incredible.There are so many memorable moments ,my sweetu has given in this short span that I wonder during my old age I would be confused to judge and recall which is the most wonderful memory.There are tons of happy and memorable moments which you have given for which I will be always happy and thankful to you sweetheart.Moments like when you take the pics...

Kabadi has got its much needed make over with the start of new league. India the home of Kabaddi got its much needed make over and style in form of Pro Kabaddi. Previously kabbadi was played in sand and and open air and for now it is played in closed arena and on mat.Pro kabbadi is in its 5 installment and buzz and hype is amazing among audiences. So what makes this sport and league so special and let me ponder into some of reasons for success of Pro Kabaddi 1.Contact sport :-People always think Kabaddi is a contact sport but to be fair enough .I do not believe it is contact sport. It is a sport where each player should have strength like a wrestler, physique like a boxer and should think like chess player. Notion of kabaddi being a contact sport is held back as kabaddi is  a game of strategies, innovative thinking and some much needed skills.There are some skills like dubki(escape),dash ,block etc which when showcased by players increases the levels of entertainment amon...

The title of Bengaluru should be changed from Garden city to Traffic city.The way traffic congestions are increasing and way it is managed,its very unfortunate and it is in a bad state of affairs.IT city which has large amount of companies into IT domain has exponentially grown but the way it is managed and maintained is not good 1.Narrower roads :-All the major points/junctions have narrower roads which leads to congestion in traffic and ultimately increases the travel time. Roads are so small and narrow that if bus comes near the stop then whole traffic comes to standstill. There are no 4 way lanes roads present in entire Bengaluru except in Electronic city which increases the traffic time. There are no enough underpasses, flyovers present in Bengaluru to cater to the increasing needs of traffic. Roads are narrower and congested and in some cases some part of road is not available as it is used for building metro. 2.Metro :-Talking about metro the rate in which metro is ...

Its Eid time and yet again Salman khan has decided to release his movie “Tubelight”.Tubelight had created lot of expectations and buzz which it had created as it had Bajrangi combo of Salman and Kabir khan. The expectations were sky high on the movie but all the movie buffs will almost be disappointed by seeing this movie.There are reasons and several loopholes in movie which makes it cumbersome Some of the reasons which makes it dissappointing are:- 1.Direction:- Direction of Kabir khan is not upto mark .Kabir khan lacks detailing in the scenes. The screenplay also seems loosely tied. Direction lacks the emotional connect with the audience which was very essential for the movie. There are some scenes in movie and several loopholes in the screenplay, if corrected and presented movie would have much different. Several war sequences also lacks detailing and it lacks the touch of war sequences of “Kabul express” 2.Salman khan’s acting:- In recent times Salman has really impr...

2014 has been path breaking year in terms of Indian Political History.A mandate which gave a clear  majority to form government.There was no requirement of any collation and other political parties to form government.Giving clear cut majority people’s expectations were sky high and to meet them it was not easy.Lot of negativity has already been faced by Indian Government be it Nationalism or Anti Nationalism comments by Kanheiya Kumar,Pakistan’s cease fire violations or the Bold and brave Demonetization.It has been a painful journey for Modi and team.I believe that corruption has also come down although I do not see a concrete proof or evidences in ground.But with Modi spearheading country there is a ray of hope,cloud of positivity and winds of change felt which is enough for common man to believe about hope of better India 2017 State assembly elections was also not less than battlefield.The race of power in UP,Punjab ,Uttarakhand,Goa and Manipur was on.The elections coming a...
