Ensuring that everyone understands the process is important so make sure it’s documented. By doing this, stakeholders will be clear on how things work and what their role within the process is. Rules should be clear so any issues that arise during a project are resolved quickly and effectively. If there are any other people involved in the project then ensure they know who they need to speak with and also identify who you need to speak with on their behalf. Be prepared for changes, external factors may impact upon what was initially agreed, so discuss these matters before they arise or at least as soon possible so you can develop a strategy to proceed.

Unsure of your IT project management process? Here are some tips from our experienced project leaders:

1. Have clearly defined roles and responsibilities
2. Make sure there is proper communication between team members
3. Keep stakeholders updated on the progress of the project, set regular reporting deadlines so that everyone knows when they need to be completed by
4. Use a collaborative online tool like Kendo Manager to bring people together and communicate effectively with others
5. Another tip would be to assign clear ownership so everyone knows what their role is and what they’re responsible for during the project

Make Use Of Software To Manage Tasks, Documentation & Time Budgets

If you’re struggling with IT project management then you could always ask someone who has experience in this area to lead; if successful they could take ownership of future projects and guide future team members through the process. Think about it very carefully before deciding whether or not you make this move though, as anyone leading a group needs to be able to delegate responsibility. Give them tasks they can manage independently and encourage them to be responsible for their own actions but don’t forget that they are not the only employee in your company so make sure you review progress, ideally on a weekly basis.

The biggest challenge with IT project management is identifying what skills you need from your team members; figure out how this new process will benefit everyone involved then get everyone on board and set about implementing it. It’s important that everyone is given the opportunity develop their knowledge of leadership and sponsorship alongside developing these new skills otherwise you could encounter some issues later down the line when it comes to promotions or staff rotation . Have regular meetings with each person individually so that you can monitor progress and address any concerns as soon as they arise.

It might not be something that you think about, but are you taking the right safety precautions to keep yourself and those around you safe?

Society for Risk Analysis has found that falls from ladders and roofs top all other accidental deaths in construction work. So it is no wonder then that large companies like Home Depot have dedicated their efforts to promoting fall protection on their roofing sections of their stores.

The same level of concern should extend into your own home, even if it’s just a small patio or deck space. With 95% of people falling off a ladder when working on a residential property, preventable accidents are an uncomfortable reality many families already have experienced. Treatment for injuries sustained as a result can cost up to $100,000 for an individual.

Even if you are working on a project with no height involved, safety precautions should be taken. Falls from ladders can still happen if the operator is not paying attention or is otherwise not in control of their movements. It’s better to be safe than sorry!

Keeping The Work Area Safe

It may seem obvious considering that it’ll be right below your feet, but keeping your work area clear and clutter-free will go a long way in preventing accidents and injuries at home. Whenever possible, set up your ladder over grass or other soft surfaces instead of cement. Even if you are setting up on dry ground, place plywood underneath to act as protection from any potential damage which could occur during use.

Here are some other safety tips for ladders and scaffolds which can be easily applied to your home projects:

-Make sure that the ladder is on solid ground and level before climbing up. Don’t trust tippy boards, open grating, or cracked concrete slabs. It’s worth taking the time to double check instead of rushing into things.

-Equip a ladder with non-slip feet or pads. You may also want to consider another option like roofing toe spikes which help prevent accidental slips and falls on angled surfaces.

-Use rope or nylon lift straps around your waist in case of an accident when using a ladder or scaffolding at height. This will act as a safety harness which is designed to prevent falls from height. Many can also be easily tied to a secure object in the event of a sudden accident which allows for more time to get out of harm’s way.

-Wear sturdy and strong shoes while on a ladder, preferably steel toe or composite safety boots if you are working with plumbing, electrical, or other hazardous materials.

-Treat your ladder as though it were any other piece of equipment – i.e., don’t rely solely on yourself when using it! Never let tools or supplies go above shoulder level on the ladder as this creates an unstable environment where accidents can happen unexpectedly. You should always use both hands when climbing up or down the ladder in addition to having both feet on the ground.

-Prevent slipping, especially with oily or dusty surfaces by using a ladder mat underneath which will also help absorb some of the noise from your tools and materials when being used.

-Always lock your handrails when climbing up or down to prevent any mishaps. Do not lean against any side rails which don’t lock into place as this can cause instability in the structure itself and make it more prone to accidents. Also remember that many ladders are only rated for specific maximum weight limits – exceeding these could easily lead to collapse!

Many homeowners avoid natural stone in the bathroom. Although there is a bit more care involved, adding the luxury of natural stone tile or slab to your bathroom design is a beautiful and timeless addition to consider. In this regard, here we will cover the types of natural stone available, as well as tips for cleaning and sealing a natural stone shower.

Natural stone should be cleaned with non-acidic or pH neutral cleaners. Any such product can be applied to the walls and floor of the natural stone shower at night. You should rinse your shower surfaces the next morning to rinse dirt down the drain for a sparkling clean shower!

Although non-acidic or pH neutral cleaning products are ideal for natural stone, they are not ideal for natural marble, for example.

Some brands of no-scrub tile cleaner state that the shower should be sprayed daily for best cleaning. Most no-scrub daily shower sprays contain approximately 7 applications or a week of cleaning per bottle. Therefore, you should consider purchasing this product frequently to keep your shower clean all the time.

At the same time, you need to consider that natural stone is popular for its character and beauty. But if left untreated, water, oils, and other liquids can easily penetrate it and leave unwanted stains.

The stone sealer prevents water, oil and other liquids from penetrating the stone and causing staining. A porous stone, such as soapstone, must be routinely sealed to retain its resistance to water, soap, and stains.

You must seal the natural stone following the instructions provided by the stone manufacturer or supplier. A stone surface that is properly sealed will show water droplets on the surface, similar to a newly waxed car. When the moisture is no longer dripping onto the surface, it’s time to re-seal.

Natural stone is unique and often expensive. This means that a natural stone shower will enhance the resale value of your home. Real estate professionals will often highlight the presence of natural stone when selling a home, and potential buyers often see it as a positive feature.

We were going to do two dives and they asked us if we had a predilection for doing
something special or going to a specific point. It was clear to me, I wanted to go see Cedar
Pride. One of the most famous dive spots in Aqaba is this sunken ship, which is also
accessible to divers of all levels, whether you have an Open Water certification (the basic
one), as if you are doing a Discover Scuba Diving or what is the same, you do not have any
certification. Normally the wrecks are usually deeper, being only accessible to divers in
possession of a higher certification such as Advanced Open Water. In this case, the maximum
depth, where the helmet rests, is 25 meters (to reach that level, you need to have an Advance
Open Water) and the top of the mast is only 7 meters from the surface.

One of the peculiarities of diving in Aqaba is that it is normally accessed on foot from the
beach, it is not necessary to take a boat to go to the dive sites. And that’s what we did, the
instructors, a couple of other girls, and us, we got into the van from the dive center and went
to the dive site. On the beach, we began to prepare all the equipment and receive the
instructions, although in our case it was more like reviewing them.

With everything ready and the lesson reviewed, our instructors (Juan Carlos and Fox) and the
two of us, got in the water. Before diving completely we were reviewing some movements,
everything was great, so we partially deflated the vests and began to descend. The beginning
of this dive runs through some scattered corals. They are nice, but nothing compared to
other dive sites. The good is yet to come.

After a little time diving, you suddenly see a kind of "mountain" in front of you. No way! It’s
the helmet of the Cedar Pride! The arrival to the sunken ship is something really impressive,
that is enormous. This Gijón-built freighter measures neither more nor less than 74 meters in
length. It was sunk by the King of Jordan Abdullah II in 1985 to form an artificial coral reef
off the coast of Aqaba and thus become one of the main diving attractions in this country.

We continue up the side of the ship’s hull until we reach the edge. That’s when we looked
down and saw that. What beauty, what amount of fish and coral … What amount of life! It is
incredible how the ship has been colonized little by little creating an entire ecosystem. We
had never seen anything like it and we did not think, far from it, that it could be seen without
having a diving certification. Luckily, Cedar Pride can be visited by newcomers.

After enjoying the deck of the boat, and seeing the instructors that we had good buoyancy
management, they told us to follow them. We pass under a large metal plate until we reach
an air chamber inside the ship. Yes, when the ship was sunk, an air chamber was created that
is still preserved today. Amazing! In fact, we take off our mouthpieces and breathe air under
the sea. What an experience.

We submerged again and, this time, we went through a room inside the ship, to exit through
another area of ​​the deck. It was being an unforgettable experience. The Cedar Pride had
exceeded all expectations, and they were very high. After leaving the boat behind we returned
to the coast in a quiet walk among corals and colorful fish.
