CQ54 is not a a typical RDBMS where I can model a set of relationships in table and soon a pretty picture starts to present itself. CQ54 stores everything in its content repository (CRX) as nodes which follow an entirely different data model i.e. Hierarchical Structure. My experience with...
The Language of Risk...

The language is important because it helps you think about the problem in the right way. This statement stuck a chord reminding me of an instance not so long ago . She asked me – “why did my project had just a couple of risks?” . She went on to probe us (my PM and me) to...
