    What is a Project?

    Posted in: Project Management

    What is a project? Projects are all around us, we have been doing projects since time immemorial. Unknowingly, we’ve been able to work on projects as a team or even as a single person. During our school days, we worked on different projects. But do we really know what a project means, to be honest, when I was still studying, projects to me before are just assigned responsibilities that we need to finish on time.

    According to PMBOK 4th Ed., a Project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service or result.

    A project is something that has a target outcome, a definite time span, and has constrain on time, costs and scope. Projects should not run through indefinitely. This simply means that a project should have a start, middle and end.

    Now that we have an idea of what a project is, we will divulge deeper and discuss more on project management in the upcoming articles. From tools to personal experience, I’ll try to share a lot and hope we continue this journey in sharing tips to better handling of projects.

    GarageBand for iPad and Me

    Posted in: iPad Apps

    After a couple of months of thinking, I’ve finally decided to by GarageBand for iPad. I really love music and have been doing some some composition during my highschool and college days but due to having too limited time because of being more focused on my career as a Project Manager, a husband and a father to my daughter, I was not able to pursue with this hobby.

    But I think I already found the perfect tool for this and be able to create some melody on my spare time. Because of iPad being really more portable and the ability for me to bring it anywhere, I will be having more chances to compose simple melodies even on just a short lunch break in the office.

    There are still a lot of features that I wish Apple will port to his app for iPad some of them is to have the ability to do midi and maybe a couple of more instruments just like the Garageband version for Mac but still this is a really good app that any music lover and frustrated composers like should try.

    And not just that, it is really affordable having only priced as 4.99 USD in Apple App Store and having a lot of features. This is really a good buy for everyone.

    Till next time and maybe soon I’ll upload some of my compositions.
