Project Management Funda

Many of you would have experienced this.

There are things that you need to do routinely. For some reason, there is an issue that needs to addressed. You address it, then move on with your regular tasks.

But if you want to be a successful project manager, you should now spend quite a lot of time in analysing why the problem occurred, who can it be blamed on and how well you have sorted it out.

The trick is that, you wont prepare this material yourself. You will have it done by someone else, take the credit and then start admonishing the guy who prepared the material for slipping behind on his regular tasks.

Since he is slipping behind on his tasks there would be:
a. escalations for not adhering to schedule
or
b. escalations for slipping on quality, coz u had stick to schedule.

The cycle repeats...

As the learned ones said:

punarapi jananam punarapi masraïam
punarabi jananè-jaûhare ùayanam,
iha samsáre bahu-dustáre
køpaya' páre páhi muráre.(21)

Repeated birth, repeated death, and repeated lying in mother's womb - this transmigratory process is extensive and difficult to cross; save me, O Destroyer of Mura (O Køúïa), through your grace!
