That approach is common in many other PM domains. EV is one of my favorites - where bad examples are used to introduce yet another bad example. Or criticisms of a tool or process are provided when in fact the critic does not actually use that tool of process. It's the argument - "it didn't work for me, it can't work for you." Great observation. That approach is common in many other PM domains. EV is one of my favorites – where bad examples are used to introduce yet another bad example.

It’s the argument – “it didn’t work for me, it can’t work for you.”

I see them all the time. They talk about all the ways to improve PM in the presence of bad PM, but don't actually practice PM - good or bad. Usually they're instructional services providers, book authors, and self proclaimed experts. When you poke a little deeper and ask "what tool, processes, methods and skills do you personally apply to the project you manage today and in the recent past?" You get a NULL answer. I've grown weary of listening to the "advice" givers who themselves do not manage projects on a daily basis - present company excluded Josh, since you earned you're living managing NASA projects until recently. Craig,
