Are trade shows still relevant today?

Finally they can take place again: fairs and exhibitions. The world's leading trade show for industrial technology, the Hannover Messe, has just ended, and the ARCHITECT@WORK trade show is taking place in many cities and countries. Every industry has its own exhibition and the dates for this year have already been set. But are trade fairs really still in keeping with the times?

Despite digitalization and the availability of online marketing tools, trade shows are still an important way for companies to present their products and services and attract new customers. They offer the opportunity to make personal contacts, build relationships with potential customers, get valuable feedback and insights into the market and the industry, and the trade press is also on hand as a multiplier.

Effectively Manage Budget and Costs

For a successful construction project, it is not only important that all the necessary resources are available at the right time. Financing must also be clarified from the outset. Effective budget and cost management is a crucial aspect of any construction project to ensure that a project stays within the specified budget and that resources are also used effectively. Fortunately, digitalization has arrived in this area as well. Project management software such as Merlin Project makes the day-to-day work of owners, architects and contractors easier when it comes to budget planning and project management.

Agile Transformation in Project Management

The introduction of agile methods and the associated transformation of the project management culture can be challenging. This conversion of a traditional, sequential project management to an agile approach is referred to as agile transformation.

Already in a previous blog article we addressed the topic what agile software development is. Agile methods, such as Scrum, Kanban or Extreme Programming (XP), are designed to be able to react quickly to changes in the project environment by using iterative and incremental approaches.
