Chapter 1: The World of Project Management

"Once upon a time there was a heroine project manager. Her projects were never late. They never ran over budget. They always met contractual specifications and invariably satisfied the expectations of her clients. And you know as well as we do, anything that begins with "Once upon a time..." is just a fairy tale."

"This book is not about fairy tales. Throughout these pages we will be a realistic as we know how to be. We will explain project management tools that we know can help the project manager come as close as Mother Nature and Lady Luck will allow to meeting the expectations of all who have a stake in the outcome of the project."

Texbook: "Project Management In Practice" Third edition, Mantel, Meredith, Shafer, Sutton.

Looks like my "jibberish" is well substantiated in virtually any textbook about the subject. Meeting schedules is not the norm. Ask anyone on the Hugo project at Medtronics!


Message in reply to:
"They are following the schedule and meeting the milestones fairly reliably, which by itself is somewhat remarkable to ANYONE with a project management background."

This is jibberish.
