Words of Project Management Wisdom

(I can't take credit for these, but they are pretty good.)

Nothing is impossible for the person who doesn't have to do it.

The bitterness of poor quality lasts long after the sweetness of making a date is forgotten.

A little risk management saves a lot of fan cleaning.

Everyone asks for a strong project manger - when they get her they don't want her.

The project would not have been started if the truth had been told about the cost and timescale.

Activity is not achievement.

The nice thing about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise rather than being preceded by a period of worry and depression.
