Web designers are putting their time, effort, and creativity into creating a site that appeals to users, and engages, and holds their attention. According to one episode of the Project Management Podcast, it’ll be easier for designers to turn those ideas and concepts into a tangible web design using the right tools. But with so many tools out there in the market, picking the right one can be difficult. So, what will a designer do?

Whether you’re a freshman just getting started in student life, or a senior preparing to enter the workforce in a few months, it’s never too early to begin honing your time-management skills. Trust us, as a team who frequently hires new software developers right out of school, having a foundational understanding of project management can go a long way.

One of the first requirements of building an effective team that consistently delivers results is having dynamic team members with the right skill set. This means having the right number of people with the right skills working on your projects at the right time.

What makes your company show excellent results for customers and stakeholders? Of course, it’s a high professional level of every worker and soft skills to communicate with colleagues and clients. Finally, it’s essential to find a robust project management software that will make your workflow smooth and robust. Nowadays, project managers use it to avoid misunderstandings, missed deadlines, and financial problems.

This is it! This is the project you’ve been waiting for. The one that’s going to define your career and challenge you and totally transform “the way things are done around here.” The project your team will point to five years from now as the inflection point that ushered in a new era of awesome. If, that is, you can get the project approved, prioritized, and properly resourced.

We’ve all been on two types of projects: ones that ran smoothly, and ones that crumbled to pieces. While there are lots of contributing factors in each case, I’ll go out on a limb and say that project ownership (or lack thereof) is what makes the biggest difference.

Agile is a popular buzzword in software development, with some organizations and teams masquerading as “agile” while they are actually doing something very different. I’ve seen it numerous times in my career as an Agile Coach: A leader claims to embrace agile values, but micromanages engineering teams and uses agility as a way to manipulate developers to work long hours. The result?

It’s been shown that if you follow a proven collection of practices for developing, designing, testing, implementing, and maintaining your software, you will produce a much higher quality product. Over the past few years, we have seen an increasing number of cases of attacks on the application layer. The Open Web Application Security Project, OWASP, estimates that around one-third of web applications contain security vulnerabilities.
