Project Management is flying a kite.

Project Management is nothing but flying a kite.

Anybody can fly a kite but not all the kites are flying high in the sky.
The key differenciation is - when to let go and when to pull !
It is an art, not a science, which requires, passion, experience and wisdom.

Every event in our life, marriage, house, children, death need to be handled with project management practices. we do the initiation, planning, monitoring and control, etc., unknowingly.

Keys for Project Management
The keys are PPP; People, Politics and Problem management.
-Don't play politics, rather manage it, as others will play with you anyways.

-Don't give up INTEGRITY for anything, thats a very rare quality, as everybody is cannibals.
Respect, trust are earned, not to be enforced. If you can't manage your boss and your peers, dont force the blame on the people & show your power on the people reporting to you. what you give is - what you get! it will come back to you within your life time. Law of Karma!

- Problem management is different than problem solving; nobody can solve every problems but its possible to manage most of the problems.

Perfection in Project Management
Perfection in everypiece of work and life cannot be achieved, whatever people do, there is always a room for improvement. Expected perfection is subjective with the situation and people looking at it, rather than actual measurement of perfection, as there is no metrics for perfection.

Boss and Project Management
Dont just go along with your boss! in particular if he/she is not a person of integrity.
Rating, promotions and money are important, but most important is satisfaction of doing good.
Dont live with the people you can't trust, thats the hell in this universe, try to change him/her; if not, make a conscious decision to switch at the right time, instead of keep blabbering at it, which 95% of the people do.

Quality for Project Management / still being a human!
Your ATTITUDE is everything. - networking, team work, learning, negotiation, etc., etc., and other funda words in the corporate world.
