To someone else. Why?
Everything you know about project management is wrong
Some project managers accidentally stumble into the profession. Others enter the field on purpose. Both groups tend to settle into a particular way of managing projects, and over time it seems most form specific ideas about what works and what doesn’t from their experience.
Projects in general have some similarities.
- producing something new
- there’s a team
- there are stakeholders
I can’t think of any universal constants in projects right now.? There seems to be an inherently larger number of specific differences you could cite among projects.
- location/culture
- product type
- technologies used
- organizational culture
- regulatory requirements
- size of project in $$
- length of project
- stakeholder personalities
- team personalities
- industry
- specialties
- etc.
In the end, this is why someone who has held a particular philosophy for 20 years about project management can be rediculed for holding that belief from someone else.? It’s worked for 20 years, how can it be wrong?
