Project Management might just save the world…
Obama’s Presidency from the project management point of view. Jim is a great writer that takes a novel approach to almost anything. If you’re looking for a course in practical project management, Jim is the guy. From his latest post:
The very first point to be made is that sliding sideways from one project to another is invariably fatal. If ever there was proof that a bright line must be drawn between separate but related projects, this is it. Once a clear goal has been reached (getting elected), the table must be cleared and a brand-new project plan begun (getting things done).
…A central function of successful Project Management is to analyze each stakeholder for potential impact on the project and for positive and negative characteristics, most especially seeking to understand how best to maximize this group/person's productive integraton into the project. Or, as necessary, neutralize its power to cause harm.
Jim uses the first year as a stepping stone to project management fundamentals. What do you think?
