Blockers
Blockers are those unforeseen and unpredictable events which can impede progress on a project. They may come from both external and internal sources, throwing your team or department off track.
When these unfortunate events take place, it can be an enormously frustrating experience for your team. Furthermore, these delays may cause unexpected disruptions that negatively impact timelines, regulatory operations and customer delivery expectations.
One of the best ways to prevent and mitigate technical issues is by planning ahead. Create a list of potential technical problems that could occur, prioritize them, and find solutions before they occur.
Another way to prevent these issues is by having enough technical know-how on your team. Doing this will reduce a lot of the frustration and delays technology blockers can cause.

Hala faces a unique set of obstacles as she strives to navigate life as an independent young woman, and writer/director Minhal Baig beautifully captures this tale with sensitive understanding and emotional intelligence. Viswanathan’s acting is sublime; she carries the film with grace, delicate touch, and genuine feeling.
Hala lives with her somewhat Westernized father who works as an attorney and enjoys crossword puzzles. Her mother is a homemaker who upholds traditional Pakistani values.
But as she matures, she begins to question the limits of her mother’s authority. After becoming friends with a sensitive blue-eyed boy named Jack Kilmer, her strict parenting begins to crumble under the strain.
Hala and her friends begin to question whether she should get married to a Muslim man in traditional ceremonies. Hala wants to break free of her parents’ restrictions and live life on her own terms, but with their marriage falling apart and her father’s secret revealed, Hala’s path ahead seems uncertain.
