Project Database

Last couple of days at office has been tiring. Its tiring not because of the amount of work, but because any information that I want is answered with the same response – "we do not track this kind of data." :(

For e.g.,

How many projects are executed in the company until now?

What is the average project size?

Can you categorize the number of projects executed as development, maintenance, modernization, advisory solutions, etc.?

How many resources are certified in X, Y, Z technologies?

How many resources you have in X technologies in A, B, C regions?

And many more…

Which has made me wonder – "Isn't it important for any company to have the data regarding their day to day operations? Especially if you want to sell your company isn't all the above questions important? Why is it not tracked?"

Seriously, if you are a software company and you say you do not have software which has the information on projects and people in your company, doesn't it sound odd?

I think there is a huge market for a product which can capture all the information about the projects executed in the company, something like a PROJECT DATABASE.

Silent for many, Ring for One - Response

In response to my post on how to enable my mobile rings for just one person and remains silent for others, one of my friend suggested the below method.

I am supposed to create 2 groups of contact, say Group A and Group B.

Group A: Contacts for which you would like the mobile to ring

Group B: Contacts for which you prefer your mobile to remain silent.

For group A, assign your favorite ring tone. For Group B, use the recording function in your mobile and record silence as a ring tone. Assign the recorded ring tone to this group.

Ppl – Seriously tell me, do I need to take all these pains to achieve this?

I think the method I followed is better than the above. You want to know what I did. Simple, when someone calls me at improper timings, I tell him/her very politely (at the peak of my voice range) not to call at that time. I tell you the news spreads. I followed this and from then on I do not receive any unnecessary calls.

Bindhu!!

Silent for many, Ring for One

I am using Nokia N72 mobile, which I love. But yesterday I was disappointed with my mobile. The reason - I wanted my phone to ring when my husband calls and for the rest of the callers, I wanted it to be silent. I just could not do it.

Readers - Let me know if this is possible. If not, Nokia, Samsumg and other mobile manufacturers listening??
Bindhu!!
