"Why do..Why you"..

Alhamdulillah .. a blessed day to have opportunity listening to unselfish sharing from another of my influencer....

Lots of topics discussed given a span of a year to our last conversation over lunch..this time it was after Maghrib..

I was attracted to the following .. the answer to "Why do, Why you?" is PASSION...
a frequently misuse or misunderstood ...

This passion comes from knowing the true purpose no matter if you are being talked out of it. Do your best and leave Allah the rest.. :)

Service Delivery Management vs Project Management (as I see it)

The difference between the two in terms of technical deliverables and approach are different.

Attitude towards each roles varies considering:
1. Money
2. Timeline
3. People strength
4. Technical competency
5. Contractual obligation
6. Customer engagement throughout completion
7. Team work

All deserve to be explained in detail from the experience I have. Some other time perhaps ..

"It is good to be Green"

Bismillah

The memory I had of the word green takes me back to my first conversation with my first boss who welcomed me to the team despite my technical inexperience.

"It is good to be green"...he said. If I remember correctly, I nearly had an image of the Grinch, a fiction character from Dr Seuss's book "How the Grinch stole Christmas". Being young and unfocused did help when another image of a budding seed quickly appear. I let a small nod and smile at such comforting words.

It has been 6 years of experience since that day but the good intention behind the words sends encouragement whenever I take up new challenges.
