  • Agile Project Methodology for the Right Types of Projects

    Jim Cahill
    The concept of Agile for managing software projects began in the 1990 in software development under early forerunners such as “ …Scrum, DSDM, Application Development and Extreme Programming “. The waterfall project management method was causing growing lead times and lack of flexibility to make changes later in the project as more was learned along the way. Based on this early work: …seventeen developers met once again…

  • Digital Twin Solutions across Industries

    Jim Cahill
    When you hear “digital twin,” think of this as a digital replica of physical assets such as pumps and compressors, processes, people, places, systems and devices. Through these replicas, the operation of these things are modeled and simulated through their lifecycles. For these simulations to be effective, they must represent reality. To this end, feedback to the model is important for keeping it up to date and realistic…
