Re: Best Certification For Me?
I tend to agree, skills and experience often count more than certifications. My team are interviewing for a programme manager and there is no mention of certifications in the interview brief.

Re: What are the best remote working tips these days?
Useful tips danwan337. I particularly like, ‘ End your day on a happy note.’ I always start my day with 40 minutes brisk exercise. I find this sets me up for any challenges that come my way. When I skip my morning exercise, I certainly notice my mood going down.

Re: How to choose the right requirements management tool for managing projects?
I'm not aware of any requirements management software per se. I'd be interested to know whether such software exists as a standalone application.

Re: Project management tools
Great list Thescalers!
As many of my colleagues know, I'm a great fan of Evernote for taking minutes and staying organised. Especially helpful for keeping information organised across different projects.

Re: Project Management and Covid-19
Yes, I do. Who knew virtual project management was going to become such a big thing in 2020. It’s all about the virtual meeting. I’ve found it important to minute every meeting in some detail and send the minutes to all meeting participants. It’s a good way to reinforce what has been said and avoid ...

Re: Automated/Automation Testing?
Hi Eananaat, Test automation requires two things, a good test plan and test tools. After deciding what test cases to automate you should investigate the best tool to use. Our team use Selenium, which seems to be a front runner when it comes to test tools. You could even build your own. However, why ...
