Is there such a thing as projection engineering, as applied to psychology?

Nirvana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You will come to hear many phrases over the years. None of them complementary, unless you know the lingo.

They sound like meaningless management buzzwords to me, however one of them appears to be project management software

Nirvana

Not sure about Chi

Chi, is used in statistics.

as in Chi squared distribution.

An example of where it would be applied would be Statistic Process Control

And that, without a doubt has to deal with management.

You must first learn to control the Chi before you can approach Nirvana,,,,,grasshopper...

Are these Indian companies, Nirvana has already been explained and Chi is tea, as in cup of tea. I imagine that Nirvana is a response to something good, but Chi, I don't have a clue.

nirvana is when the project is over and everything went as planed and you deposit the check

Unlike true nirvana, project related nirvana can never be achieved only approached.

Nirvana... isn't that where Pat Sajak usually stands?

Neither term are engineering or management terms. As such they are terms that are intended to bring some meaning from outside of nominal engineering or management perspectives. So it matters a great deal how these terms are used to discern the meaning. For instance depending on how the term Nirvana is used this could mean individual clarity at the expense of the team, the epitome of excellence or that the project leader will kill them self and the project in an act of deep depression just when everything looks good.

Have a nice day.

No Chi, man.

What about Chi?

Quoted from wiki: "In engineering, chi is used as a symbol for the reduction factor of relevant buckling loads in the EN 1993, a European Standard for the design of steel structures."
