Wow! Your Projects By Breaking Those Seven Laws

If you are a project manager, then you need to read what Matthew E. May has explained in the referred article. This fantastic article is the crux of  his twenty-five years of career as writer, speaker and coach. Here are a few of seven laws of projects he has mentioned:

A major project is never completed on time, within budget, or with the original team, and it never does exactly what it was supposed to.

Projects progress quickly until they become 85% complete. Then they remain 85% complete forever. Think of this as the Home Improvement Law.

The greater the project’s technical complexity, the less you need a technician to manage it.

Read rest of the laws and whole fantastic article here.
