Devising the title of this post was very difficult, and we are not fully satisfied with the result.
Standing in the doorway and hearing the project manager (PM) say into the phone: "One of my engineers had a bereavement in the family", our informant noted this was the third time in as many months.
"Do your engineers just attract bad luck, or is there something else wrong with their families?"
The PM gave smiled briefly, then asked: "So, what can I do for you?"
Reports about the new airport in Berlin, which we claim could be made into a full-on spaceport for just a handful of extra euros, made mention of project planning mistakes and an "overly optimistic" approach to the project.
The K-Landnews project management experts were unanimous in their condemnation, "whoever wrote this has never managed a project other than a self-promotion project in their whole lives".
Our experts did not deny that bad planning is just that, bad planning.
But, if your only timeout is an act of god, don't blame the project manager.
