 Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) is a means of maximizing returns and reducing costs in project portfolios. PPM looks at entire organization's investments in the various projects with one common objective: achieving the business goals . PPM Studio provides complete visibility of critical project metrics throughout the application lifecycle. With the industry’s first integrated PPM solution for Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), PPM Studio provides automated reporting of project status, from the initial idea or request, through prioritization and execution, to completion and release, and finally to benefits analysis.

MNC's should take in more freshers vs Do not take freshers
Activity: 0 referals , 7 comments, 394 views  
The other day I was in a restaurant and saw a sign advertising "Sliders Fridays." From what I gathered, they offered a deep discount on tiny hamburgers, called sliders, on Friday nights. The interesting thing about this discovery is that I own the restaurant and it's the first I knew of it. (Stacey's at Waterford:  www.eatatstaceys.com ) I don't just own the restaurant. I also manage it, although I use that term loosely. I've taken the concept of hands-off management to the next level. Most of the time I have no idea what the staff is up to. They organize customer events, execute marketing ideas, hire and fire, change the menu, and pretty much anything else they want. I only get involved if there is a largish expense that needs to be approved. I see the financials daily, by e-mail, but I'm mostly about the bottom line. As a well-known critic of managers, I painted a big red bulls eye on my back when I started managing the restaurant. For the first year I was involved in the details...

In many ways, a manager has to be a leader, so therefore a manager will have many of the traits that a leader does. However, I feel the term 'manager' applies primarily to business, it's in a manager's best interest to lead his co-workers effectively, encouraging them to achieve their goals and targets. In my experience, a leader is more of a social thing; more associated with team work, too. Go to Discussion http://lnkd.in/wUJe5E
