As we all know audiences have rejected big budget movies with big stars,sleazy item numbers and rauchy music but a weak script.Now a days content is the king.Gone are the days when people use to go theatres because of khans and superstars. This week’s release  “Raid” of Ajay Devgnn starrer is purely content based movie .Content plays a pivotal role in today’s success of film . The movie starts directly into the plot with a engaging story line and gripping.The movie from the beginning is able to create lot of suspense and engrave the audiences.Coming to the strong points of the movie 1.The ensemble cast: -Raid starring Ajay Devgn,illena , Saurabh Shukla and amalgamation of various theatre actors fit it to the role superbly. The chemistry between “Baadshaho pair” is very little and its namesake for the movie.Illena role is very small and to be frank enough there was no heroine in the movie.Singham lead actor fits perfectly into the role of perfect government servant ...

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...
