Birth of a blog - Project Management

Everything must start somewhere. This blog begins here and now!

How can you tell a project? That is the fundamental question. The answer is, aproject has a definitive beginning and a definitive ending. Anything else is, or becomes, operations. This is the root of all will discuss over time. Projects bring value to the organizations which sponsor them, and are assigned to people we call project managers with the expectation they will be completed on or before time,on or under cost, and at or exceeding performance expectations. It really is as simple as that, but along the way complexities arise; conflicts with organizational strategies, unforeseen issues arise, communications become fractured and confusing. We will address all these issues over time.
