Co Owner of Local Plumbing Business Provides Dog Food with Her Sister

Indianapolis, IN – June 14, 2020 –COVID-19 has impacted everyone worldwide in ways that are still unknown.  A pair of sisters in Indianapolis realized that there may be Seniors who are unable to get food for their pets during this time.  They want to ensure that seniors can feed their dogs by providing them with free dog food.

Pristine plumbing co-owner, Angel Blevins, and her sister, Josi Evans, have realized that COVID-19 has impacted all of us, even the animals.  Individuals are struggling to make ends meet.   Money is being spent on food and necessities so that people can stay at home.  Expenses are piling up, and some seniors are unable to afford food for their pets.  For many, pets are furry members of the family. 

The sisters got busy in April looking for donations to support their cause.  Josi Evans contacted local retailers due to larger chains typically being restricted from making local donations.  Several local stores, including City Dogs Grocery, The Hayloft, and Big Truck’s Feed, have donated to ensure that seniors can feed their animals.  For many seniors, this is the equivalent to parents being able to feed their children. 

The sisters are hoping to match the donations that they have received with those who need them the most.  BOAA has partnered with the duo and they are hoping that they can assist in the process of handing out donations.  The BOAA has a list of seniors in the area.  The sisters are using social media outlets, such as Facebook, and word of mouth advertising to get news of their program out.  There is no end date to the program at this time; and the program may continue even after the pandemic is and life goes back to “normal”. 

Josie, Angel, and Angel’s husband and co-owner of Pristine Plumbing, Ron; have lived in the town of Brownsburg for a long time.  They want to be active members of the community and have a passion for animals.  Josi is the proud owner of a cat, two dogs, eight chickens, a tortoise, and a gecko.  Angel and Ron also have pets.  They are the proud parents of a dog and two cats.  The family understands the cost and struggle associated with feeding your animals.  They also understand the impact that COVID-19 has had on everyone, and that many are struggling to feed the pet babies. 

If you are a senior and need help feeding your pet call (317) 440-5110 for more information if there is no answer leave a voicemail.  Information about the pet feeding program can also be found at www.bburgoaa.org and utilize the contact form.

BVOP Launches Online Project Management Certification Program

New York, NY, Jun 15, 2020 -- BVOP.org launched an online Project Management certification process by developing its platform for conducting online certification exams.

Business Value-Oriented Principles Ltd has published for the first time its BVOP Ultimate Guide which is the preparatory material for all certification programs. BVOP Ultimate Guide contains a collection of many business principles, rules, and recommendations that are aimed not only at future project managers but also for all modern professionals and managers.

After successfully passing the exam, candidates receive the title of BVOP Certified Project Manager and their indefinitely valid certificate.

BVOP certified professionals are not classic and traditional project managers. The organization requires from candidates knowledge of many more disciplines than traditional teachings. For example, for a project management certificate, applicants must also learn the product management sections from the book "BVOP Ultimate Guide" and vice versa - product managers must also learn the project management sections.

The organization also provides director's certificates for which the preparation is even more in-depth. The BVOP Program Director, for example, the title is obtained after successfully passing an exam on the entire guide.

Another distinguishing feature of the Business Value-Oriented Principles Ltd certification programs is the strong Agile ideas in all chapters of the organization's book.

Scrum, Kaizen, Kanban, Lean, and MVP ideas can be spotted in each row of the bagpipe.

The modern organization teaches professionals flexible thinking, modern business principles, and process optimization.

What is Agile methodology

Many authoritative authors also claim that the Agile process is better because the people who participate in it are more productive and happy. Engineers have a say in how much work they will take in what period and feel good by demonstrating the results of their efforts over some time. Managers want to see their vision turned into a real product as soon as possible and to be able to make constant changes to optimize the project. Consumers want to get a product that does exactly what they need, in a way that meets their changing desires and needs, by improving their work processes. Agile methods aim to satisfy all parties.

Managers often think that they know exactly what an application wants to look like, but they rarely give up on the opportunity to improve the project. The Agile methodology provides this opportunity because they are in constant contact with users and see in real-time how the application works and what needs to be improved. The developers also think they know how to design the perfect product. However, a consistent approach deprives them of the opportunity to demonstrate the results of their work until the entire application is integrated, which, as we said at the beginning, can take a long time.

Agile management is the opposite of the Waterfall manufacturing processes established in 1970. The Waterfall methodology is revolutionary for its time because it creates strict discipline in product development, ensuring that there is a clear specification that is strictly followed. It is based on the innovative method of production of the Henry Ford assembly line from 1913, which makes sure that every step in the production process is aimed at the initial requirements for the final product.

BVOP combines Waterfall and Agile by adding new business principles.

In addition to combining all popular management principles and methodologies, BVOP.org publishes in its guide clear examples of added business value to any business process. CIO.com cites this fact by pointing out that BVOP Certified Project Manager is aimed at professionals who know what business value is and aim at optimization and productivity.
