  2. g-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    While acceleration is a vector quantity, g-force accelerations ("g-forces" for short) are often expressed as a scalar, based on the vector magnitude, with positive g-forces pointing downward (indicating upward acceleration), and negative g-forces pointing upward. Thus, a g-force is a vector of acceleration.

  3. Rapid application development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_application_development

    If a project (e.g. life-critical software) values control more than agility RAD is not appropriate. Poor design. The focus on prototypes can be taken too far in some cases resulting in a "hack and test" methodology where developers are constantly making minor changes to individual components and ignoring system architecture issues that could ...

  4. Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

    If the speed of the vehicle decreases, this is an acceleration in the opposite direction of the velocity vector (mathematically a negative, if the movement is unidimensional and the velocity is positive), sometimes called deceleration [4] [5] or retardation, and passengers experience the reaction to deceleration as an inertial force pushing ...

  5. Project management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_management

    Key project management responsibilities include creating clear and attainable project objectives, building the project requirements, and managing the triple constraint (now including more constraints and calling it competing constraints) for projects, which is cost, time, quality and scope for the first three but about three additional ones in ...

  6. Learning curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_curve

    A learning curve is a graphical representation of the relationship between how proficient people are at a task and the amount of experience they have. Proficiency (measured on the vertical axis) usually increases with increased experience (the horizontal axis), that is to say, the more someone, groups, companies or industries perform a task, the better their performance at the task.

  7. Project complexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_complexity

    Plan IT project complexity response strategy: the process of developing options and actions to enhance and use Positive Complexity, and to reduce or avoid Negative Complexity. This step involves modeling and design of potential solutions. Monitor and Control IT project complexity: the process of implementing response strategies, monitoring ...

  8. High-g training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-G_training

    The 20 g centrifuge at the NASA Ames Research Center. High-g training is done by aviators and astronauts who are subject to high levels of acceleration ('g'). It is designed to prevent a g-induced loss of consciousness (g-LOC), a situation when the action of g-forces moves the blood away from the brain to the extent that consciousness is lost.

  9. Proper acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_acceleration

    In relativity theory, proper acceleration [1] is the physical acceleration (i.e., measurable acceleration as by an accelerometer) experienced by an object. It is thus acceleration relative to a free-fall, or inertial, observer who is momentarily at rest relative to the object being measured.
