Tracking, or monitoring the progress of work against the time and scope decided, is one of the main tasks of a project manager, but it is far from an obvious task. 1) The question that all project managers who are about to do tracking ask themselves is, what do I need to monitor?

3 mental aspects of tennis: intuition, anticipation, observation

A good start is half the battle. And a good start in tennis is half the battle to a great shot. The first mental aspect is the ability to guess where your opponent is going to hit. Intuition obviously does not come from the ability to predict the future but from careful observation of the opponent's movements.

The serve is a completely mental shot, so I will explain below what the practical and consequential mental steps are to execute the serve. From the moment it is time to serve: 1) Take position for the first serve, make yourself comfortable, 2) Think about where you want to aim, 3) Dribble with the hand holding the ball, bouncing it 20 centimetres inside the line.

Points in common between Scrum and Prince2

Usually, we tend to highlight the differences between waterfall and agile methodologies. But it is also interesting to note the common points: for example, 'product planning'.

To do this, sprint planning is necessary, which consists of grouping a series of functionalities to be developed and delivered within the time frame of the sprint.
