In this webinar Didier Koffi  Principal of Pragmaticohesion.com, examines 3 common types of reasoning:

• Deduction, also called logical deduction or, informally, “top-down” logic, is the process of reasoning from one or more statements (premises) to reach a logically certain conclusion. 
• Induction, is reasoning in which the premises seek to supply strong evidence for (not absolute proof of) the truth of the conclusion. While the conclusion of a deductive argument is certain, the truth of the conclusion of an inductive argument is probable, based upon the evidence given
• Abduction  is a form of logical inference which goes from an observation to a theory which accounts for the observation, ideally seeking to find the simplest and most likely explanation.

• Deductive Reasoning
• Inductive Reasoning
• Abductive Reasoning
• Requirements Validation
• System Verification
• From Evidence to Hypothesis
• From Solution System Feature to User Need
• Reasoning types across the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
• And an “Illustrative Example”

Didier explores how each of these can each be used to transform user and customer needs into appropriate products and services.

This is one session not to be missed

This webinar is the fourth of a 4 part series series on Project Scheduling by Solutions Cube.  Although this module is a part of the series – each module in the series can be taken individually.

The project schedule developed at the beginning of a project is not a guarantee of what will occur. Project schedules are in fact, only a point-in-time guess. Many things will conspire to invalidate the plan – project team members may not be available or may leave the project, technologies may work better or worse than expected, changes may be approved, and so on.

Attend this 1 hour presentation to learn why it is important to monitor progress against the schedule, communicate the progress, and refine the schedule based on facts and our observations.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

• Understand effects of path convergence and joint probabilities
• Discover recommended best practices for effectively controlling project schedules
• Understand how to use earned value to monitor project schedules
• Learn about considerations for preventive and corrective actions when controlling project schedules.
• Gather practical implementation tips for effectively monitoring and controlling projects
