Number Divisibility Rules

Divisibility Rules of whether a number is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10

NumberRuleExample
2Last digit in the number is even.14, 102, 118, 560
all end in even numbers, so all are divisible by 2.
3Sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 3.
The sum of the digits of 396 is 3+9+6 = 18 which is
divisible by 3, so 396 is divisible by 3.
4Number formed by the last 2 digits is divisible by 4.Last 2 digits of 1424 is 24, which is divisible by
4, so 1424 is divisible by 4.
5Last digit is 0 or 535, 90, 475
6Number is even and divisible by 3.144 is even and is divisible by 3 (sum of digits 1+4+4 = 9, divisible by 3), so 144 is divisible by 6.
8Last 3 digits divisible by 8 or Last 3 digit is 000Last 3 digits of 83400 is 400 which is divisible by 8. Last 3 digits of 1000 is 000 hence it is divisible by 8
9Sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 9.Sum of the digits of 1485 is 1+4+8+5 = 18
which is divisible by 9, so 1485 is divisible by 9
10Last digit is 090, 120, 680
Number Divisibility Rules

Problems on Divisibility

(i) 176, (ii) 221, (iii) 327, (iv) 90, (v) 192

2. Let us consider the following numbers to find whether the numbers are divisible or not divisible by 3:

(i) 176, (ii) 221, (iii) 327, (iv) 90, (v) 192

 3. Is 7248 is divisible (i) by 4, (ii) by 2 and (iii) by 8?

4. Without actual division, find if 235932 is divisible (i) by 4 and (ii) 8.

5. Determine which of the following numbers which are divisible by 6, using the test of divisibility by 6: 42, 144, 180, 258, 156

6. Determine which of the following numbers which are divisible by 9, using the test of divisibility by 9: 

99, 198, 171, 9990, 3411.

Program Status Meeting

Featured
  1. Apart from running regular daily standup meetings with development/engineering team, it is important to run Program Status Meeting involving engineering, program management, product management , sponsor and other important stakeholders.
  2. It is important to use program management plan in program management tools and/or deck.
  3. Purpose of this meeting is to under how we are tracking towards our deadlines. Also align on the program progress, address roadblocks and discuss next steps. This also helps brainstorm solutions to program roadblocks.
  4. The frequency of Program Status Meetings can be weekly, every 2 or 3 weeks or 1 month depending upon program complexity and stakeholder alignment. Ideally Program Status meeting should occur in weekly or every 2 weeks frequency. Decide on frequency at program kickoff/start and maintain and hold these meetings as per frequency
  5. Program Manager should start with Status of Program. Status of Program can be Green, Yellow and Red. If Status of Program is Yellow and Red, mention corrective actions.
  • Green: On schedule, on budget, all good.
  • Yellow: Potential issues with schedule or budget, but both can probably be saved with corrective actions.
  • Red: Serious issues and the project will probably be delayed or have significant budget overrun.
  1. Start the meeting by going over Program Gantt Chart. Program Manager goes over current week program activities planned from Gantt chart and highlights the stage the program is. Program Manager should clearly state whether the program is in Design, Development, Testing , Deployment or Support phase. Program Manager should clearly highlight all dependencies for current and next week. Program Manager should also highlight major deadlines and milestones in the future weeks
  2. Program Manager or Scrum Masters of different teams share their team updates. Updates should include what team did since the last time they met, what team will do till the next time they meet and any blockers or obstacles.
  3. Provide Status Update on RAID items and Capture new RAID items – RAID stands for Risk, Assumption, Issue and Dependency. Program Manager should review and share an update on existing Risks, Assumptions, Issues and Dependencies. Program Managers should also add new Risks, Assumptions, Issues and Dependencies to RAID backlog. Program Manager can also use this time to solve issues/roadblocks and also to remove risks/obstacles that can occur in future.
  4. Program Manager should then go over next steps. Next Steps should highlight next week program activities, steps to resolve roadblocks if any.
  5. After Status meeting is done, program manager should send Program Status update email which should include :
  • Milestone Completed since last status meeting
  • Milestone Missed
  • Milestone Planned till next status meeting
  • Risk log
  • Issue log
  • Action Items

Portfolio – Project Selection and Prioritisation

Featured#TBT: U.S. Microgravity Laboratory Launches -- June 25, 1992

Portfolio – Project Selection and Prioritisation

As Portfolio / Program Manager, you will have lot of projects in your project backlog. As an effective Portfolio/Program Manager, you should prioritise the right project and select it for further planning and execution.

You need to prioritise projects by scoring/ranking projects on different prioritisation criteria. Some of prioritisation criterias that I recommend portfolio/program managers to prioritise projects are listed below :

  1. Strategic Alignment – You need to see if your projects is aligned to your organisation/department strategic goals and score it accordingly
  2. Financial Criteria – You need to see your projects ROI , Savings and Cost vs Benefit. Based on this , you can score the projects
  3. Risk Criteria – You need to also check how much risk is involved.

You can give different weightage and score for each of the above criteria and then prioritise your projects based on final scores.

This exercise will help convert your project list to prioritised project list. You can start planning and executing projects based on projects ranking in prioritised project list

Also, it is important to revisit the prioritised project backlog on monthly or quarterly basis to make sure you are working right projects which are high value to your organisation at that point of time
