"THE LIGHTER SIDE OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT"

TRAITS OF A 'HALO EFFECT' PROJECT MANAGER (002)

Continuing with the ‘Halo Effect PM’ series @ PM4K, here’s 5 more ways to identify Project Managers that know squat (nothing) about Project Management:

6. when the only schedule tracking he/she does is tracking the time to go home.

7. when the approach followed by him/her in the event of a schedule/cost overrun is 'IGNORANCE IS BLISS'.

8. when the only question he has for the project team is "What is the percent complete of the task/project?"

9. when he/she believes that Management Plans are only created by Project Managers who have nothing better to do.

10. when the only meeting he knows to conduct is the 'GO AROUND THE ROOM' type status meetings.

Keep your eyes open. You'll spot one (Halo Effect Project Manager), when you see one ;)

Very funny but still very true. I come across lots of stupid PMs just like the ones you mentioned here. Are you one like them? ;)

@Nishant: HAHAHAAA... You'll have to ask Mathew's team if Mathew's like the PM mentioned in his post (although Mathew sure does hope he's not) ;) Thanks for your comments. Hope you see you back on PM4K.
