Section Overview It’s been said that 90% of project management is communication. When you consider all of the people that you have to talk to, including your project team, your customers, management, your sponsor, vendors, and government agencies, it’s no wonder that that little statistic was probably made up on the spot. Well, in this lecture, in this section, we’re going to talk about the plan, communications management, executing communications management, and controlling everything it takes to do the communications management knowledge area. So in this section, we’re going to…

Module Overview Welcome to the Isaac Risk Management Preparatory Course. This is the last module of a total of five modules on risk and control. Monitoring and reporting means continuous monitoring and reporting of its controls and risks to relevant stakeholders. to ensure the continued effectiveness of its risk management strategy and its alignment with business objectives. In this module, we will mainly learn about the difference between key risk indicators and key performance indicators, as well as monitoring and assessment techniques. Some topics we will address are: what are…

Module Overview Welcome to the preparatory course for the Isaca Risk Management Series. This is the fourth module of a total of five modules. So far, we have had an overview of risk management and learned how to identify, access, and classify risks. In this first module, we will learn about risk, risk response, and mitigation. We’ll start with some basics. Answering the question is not just about eliminating all the identified risks; what are the options for responding to a risk? What are the key techniques for determining the…

Module Overview Welcome to the preparatory course for the Isaca RiskManagement Series. This is the third module of a total of five modules. In the first module, we learned the full context and fundamental concepts of risk management. In the second module, we understood in detail the entire process of risk education. And in this third module, we will learn about risk assessment. It is a brief module, but it contains the essential concepts required for risk management. Some topics we will address are: what was not done in the…

Module Overview Welcome to the ISACA Risk Management Series preparatory course. This is an extra module where we will give information about the certification test so that you who are in the preparation process can have a better understanding of the proof and the necessary requirements, as well as related costs. I hope you are motivated and determined and that your journey of preparation is a success. I wish you all the best luck and the best accomplishment in every step of the process. Requirements The official description of Isaac…

Datastore Here is a question that I’d like you to try and answer before we begin our conversation about Data Store. Keep that answer at the back of your mind during the upcoming video. We’ll revisit the answer at the end. The question is a fundamental computer science one what data structure has approximately constant lookup time? We spent a lot of time talking about BigTable and HBase, and that made sense because those were both complex beasts. Let’s now turn our attention to a rather simpler but also very…

Lab: Running The PySpark REPL Shell And Pig Scripts On Dataproc Dataproc clusters are basically managed Hadoop on the Cloud. If you were running Hadoop on a local data center, you should be able to access the cluster manager console on port 80 80 of your master node. What do you need to do to make this possible in Dataproc? In this lecture, we’ll talk about how we can set up firewall rules to restrict access to our Dataproc clusters. We have a Hadoop cluster set up on Google Cloud….

Data Proc Let’s now discuss Dataproc. This is the Google Cloud platforms managed hadoop offering this conversation is going to bring our entire discussion of big data technologies full circle, because, after all, we had started with a conversation about Hadoop. As usual, I have a question here which I’d like you to keep in mind while we discuss Dataproc. Once again, this is a question which we have encountered before while discussing HDFS. The question is, when we use Hadoop on the Google Cloud platform, we do not use…

Lab: Executing MapReduce In Dataflow In Python At the end of this lecture, you should be able to answer this question comfortably what Apache Beam library would you choose to find the top end elements in a list? What is a library that’s tailor made for this action? In this lecture, we’ll look at a MapReduce operation in Python using the Apache Beam libraries, and we’ll see how we can execute this locally and what parameters we need to specify to execute this on the cloud. This MapReduce program is…

Lab: Running A Java Data flow Program In this lecture, you’ll understand why you would choose to use the Pair Do class while running transforms in a Java pipeline, we’ll implement the same Grep program that we saw earlier, but this time we are going to do it in Java and we’ll run it on the Cloud and see how that works. The code for this Java implementation is also part of Google’s Code Labs for the Data Engineer certification. This code is available in training data analyst courses. Data…
