 Solution Model
The tenure at Managed Dynamics has drawn strong
interests towards Enterprise Project Management with an
equal amount of time devoted to development to help
maintain a technical edge, which creates a striking
balance when engaging mission-critical programs or
projects where its earned value is not tangibly
apparent. Executives who lack technical training
or background often rely on such intelligence to arrive
at a consensus that makes sense of their investments.
For this reason, a portfolio or project manager much be
adequately equipped with valuable information that helps
to discern the decision process, especially when
projects are deemed to be in jeopardy. For any
other reason, this knowledge base of portfolio,
technology and practices helps to logically analyze ways
and means to make key strategic decisions on how the
business must react to day-to-day pressures such as
technology changes, outages, consumer demand, mergers,
resource problems and market forces. This
certainly explains the very reason why portfolio and
project management cannot be thoroughly mechanized and
that specialization still exists to provide authentic
analysis of compiled results, logical explanations of
outcomes, rationalization of failures and the proper
composition of an action plan that may restore a
business undertaking to meet its intended goals.
This valuable service can only be achieved by an
individual who has been matured by business forces that
cannot be nourished academically. The following
tabs contains the many exciting undertakings which has
offered fulfilling insights into an experience that is
filled both with success, difficulties and complexities
that has culminated in a winning combination.

While maintaining loyalty to the principles set
forth by the Project Management Institute, Software
Engineering Institute and popular industry leaders such
as Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Sun Microsystems, the various
solutions has leaned increasingly towards
enterprise models. To achieve a satisfactory model
for executing projects, the proven English PRINCE II
method, integrated with either Accelerated, or Agile
method offers a flexible set of principles and tools
that can accommodate a majority of contemporary
projects.
Technology Model
The principal development tools of choice has gravitated
toward Microsoft due to popular demand, and because it is the
most favored deployment platform sought by many customers.
However, other tools have also been used to support the general
Windows desktop and non-Windows based servers which is designed
to overcome the limitations or demands in the Windows server
platform. In the past 5 years, Microsoft has been able to
meet the growing industry challenges by offering a suite of
products that are designed to overcome some of its competitor
functions, and by combining many of the enterprise features that
other customers have enjoyed with competing products.
However, there are many valuable tools in the market
today that is able to interact, join and interface with
one another to achieve the desired method of operation
to meet the demands of many business models.
