An API Test

Tech Tool Blog -- Project Management

Dear Mr. Peterson,
I was contacted by the famous scooter company , ARC, to help them construct a Gnatt Chart to assist in the development of their new RED STREAK Scooter. They commissioned me to test out the free online software known as TeamGnatt for the construction of the Gantt Chart. It's usability is okay, but appears to only give the bare bones options for the free users. This means that some of the key features are not given to the free user, and the software is not nearly as efficient as it could be. Another draw back of the software is the lack to automatically account for federal holidays, or even preset holidays. It seems like such an easy feature to implement, yet it could be behind the pay wall. I would say the program would take an average person with an average technical know how  about 4 hours of proper training before they feel comfortable with the software.

As for ARC's Gantt Chart here it is:
Here are the questions ARC wanted me to answer. 
1.      When is the project estimated to be completed? How long will the project take?
The project will be done by January 22nd 2018 and the project will take a year and 22 days to complete
2.   What is the critical path for the project?
The Critical path follows the gantt chart exactly up until the 2 way split. It then follows Final Design Selection. The next break is at the 3 way split. The critical path then follows the creation of the Detailed product design , then back to how the normal gantt chart presents itself.  
3.    Which activity has the greatest amount of slack?
     The Activity with the greatest amount of slack is the creation of the detailed marketing plan.

What Should Junk Van Do

Hello Mr. Peterson, I recently returned from Montreal from the meeting with Junk Van and their Information Technology consultants. The issue Junk Van was facing was regarding the need to expand their IT capabilities in order to expand their operations further. Currently they are experiencing daily processing errors such as inaccurate data, lost emails and manual calculation errors. The solution the consultants suggested was to use software as a service to provide them with the IT software required to function. Software as a service is as the name suggests software being treated as a service rather than a product. We will talk about the issues with that concept later in the memo, but for now one should focus on the positives Software as a Service.  In this case, one can assume that the software in question would be similar to the microsoft office suite and google docs/drive.  In this case one can view my previous post regarding which one to use between Microsoft and Google her...

HTML Coding & API with respect to Google Maps.

Hello Mr. Peterson, As you can tell by the header of my blog, there is a google map of the Magic Kingdom at the top of my Blog. This was done as a test of Google's API for Google maps, in particular google maps embed APIs.  APIs can do more than just allow for one to show a map of a location, for example our business, on a blog or website. APIs have all sorts of uses from a variety of different sources. There are Youtube APIs, Google search history APIs, and plenty of other APIs not developed by Google. Honestly, I see the need to dive deep into researching the topic to better improve our company's presence on the web. Now as for specific Google Maps Embed API for a given location, its usefulness really depends on whether or not our hypothetical firm in question requires that we attract people to our location. Such places include stores, doctor's offices, lawyers offices, or any other place which requires a one to physically be there to take advantage of the service. Whi...
