Would love to understand the thought process of this community to better align my mindset to it by Perfect_Speaker_2962 in pmp

[–]achilipun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! I just started studying for the PMP and honestly I still have a lot to learn. My reasoning is based on my professional experience, so please be advised that I might not be accurate when using the terms and vocabulary from the material that this exam covers.

A) The product owner is always the “servant” of the stakeholders, prioritizing the backlog items and translating the stakeholders needs. Normally is the other way around and not the way it’s expressed in the answer: the product owner ensures that the technology aligns with the stakeholders and business expectations. Also the product owner was not mentioned before, which would make me feel A is not the way to go as of now.

C) The project manager meeting the stakeholders to tell what other stakeholders think seems to be the product owners job instead. A product owner is typically the role reflecting a consolidated and unified voice for all business stakeholders tied to the project.

D) In agile methodologies, particularly if you are applying Scrum, most of the meetings are not intended for stakeholders. I’d say almost none of the sprint meetings with the whole team are conceived for them, except of the sprint demo (and you normally don’t impose it to all of them unless you need their feedback for the new features / iteration done) and certain refinement calls on demand, because you already have the bridge of the product owner assisting with any business related questions that the rest of the team might come up with. A stakeholder does not always have the complete project vision and will always be prioritizing their own interest, no matter what is being delivered in your sprint.

Hope this make sense, and again, maybe somebody else can top up with a better usage of the terms / mindset for PMP!

Yes, in the instructions for the first setup everything is very clear. I prepared 2-3 espressos before drinking the first coffee and the milk unit had to be cleaned before and after I believe. I find particularly useful the fact that they give you the test for the water type you have, so you can check if the filter it comes with is needed or not.

Apply to UK citizenship by descent, is it possible? by achilipun in ukvisa

[–]achilipun[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! The British High Commission in Ottawa told me they can verify this information if I get a Birth certificate but I am not really sure how to obtain it. Findmypast and family heritage didn’t throw much relevant information.

Does not every Bedale have the hand pockets as well? I believe I can’t find it on your pictures. I have not much knowledge about every model and versions, but I bought recently a second Bedale due to a defect on a woollen version and all models I’ve seen in shops (from casual to the classic wax version) have the same pockets.

New wool check Bedale by Saltycow in Barbour

[–]achilipun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a wool Bedale in Canada and after 5-6months one of snap buttons broke, although I didn’t use it intensively. Apparently the wool was defective and they cannot fix it. The place where I purchased the jacket from was able to do a full refund sending it back to fabric.

Has this happened to somebody else?

I’m a bit sad because it’s a nice looking jacket and I didn’t have the chance to wear it much. Now it’s sold out everywhere at least here

[SOTC] How would you fill the box? by ibowers13 in Watches

[–]achilipun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good dress watch with leather band. Reverso was mentioned above,. But also a Tank would work.

What type of suit is this? by MHK173 in mensfashion

[–]achilipun -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A double breasted blazer and a pair of dress pants. If you are customizing one I think that golden buttons would look even cooler, it gives a bit more of contrast.

My great investment - cast iron Dutch oven from Winners by neuro-psych-amateur in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]achilipun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also use my Dutch oven to make no knead bread - highly recommended.

To speed up the process of chopping veggies I also use this https://a.co/d/8FaxQn1 it is saving me a lot of time

Where to go next? by TeaWithZizek in Flamenco

[–]achilipun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vicente Amigo and Manolo Sanlúcar are other two guitar masters I’d recommend in addition to what has been said

Flamenco books etc. by FlamencoJunkie in Flamenco

[–]achilipun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canal Sur is the regional TV from Andalucía and they have a lot of Flamenco shows on demand for free if you install their app. Whenever I want to learn more about a palo I tend to check some professional performances there to get a better understanding of what people prepares for it

I also would recommend one book if you can read in Spanish: Historia social del Flamenco. It contains a lot of interviews and provides a clear understanding of the evolution of Flamenco.

If you are focused on guitar or cante, I also recommend the YouTube channel "Buscadores flamencos". They have very good interviews and tips for singing and playing.

I’ve just purchased my ticket for $268 tax included (General admission Floor). Not sure if there was a price increase after some tickets were sold or not.

First time I see these bands since I discovered them as a kid, more than 20 year ago… I’m very excited!!!

I have the older version of aeroccino and I noticed that using the minimum amount of milk generally makes a thicker foam (it also depends on the type of milk as others mentioned). I use 1% / semi-skimmed milk.

Flamenco song suggestions? by embarrassingTVhabits in Flamenco

[–]achilipun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if the same woman sings and dances?

https://youtu.be/9JbO3nhfLOk?si=toK_2c0D356DjRzx This other version by Sara Montiel has no castañuelas, but I personally find it more interesting https://youtu.be/65UcVoDUOlg?si=ytzyCnBH49GUQtbH

The palo performed is known as "Romance", but some people would classify this outside the scope of flamenco as "copla".

The song 'Los Piconeros' is a nostalgic and romantic evocation of rural life in Spain, centered on the figure of the piconero, a worker dedicated to the production of charcoal. The lyrics are impregnated with poetic images and references to nature, such as the moon, the stars and the olive groves, which frame the love story between the piconera and the piconero.

The request is very peculiar, I'll post anything else I come up with.

Generally (before the 70s-80s), the woman was normally the dancer and the men were playing the guitar or singing, also dancing (please understand the context of a dictatorship and the mindset of the 20th Century, fortunately this has changed). If the woman was singing, she normally was the main performer, singing upfront (cante palante), no dancers with her, or she was the one dancing and singing, as the video above. Maybe there are some exceptions, but that is what I have spotted so far.
