TRAITS OF A ‘HALO EFFECT’ PROJECT MANAGER (006)

Here’s more from the ‘Halo Effect PM’ series at PM4K.

DISCLAIMER: The characters (aka Project Managers) in this post are fictitious & any resemblance to persons living or dead is pure coincidental.

Here’s 5 more ways to identify Project Managers that know squat (nothing) about Project Management:

26. when they simply decide to change the baseline every time before submitting a progress report to Senior Management.

27.  when they feel 'Planning' is equivalent to 'Blasphemy', because by planning one tries to foresee the future and take actions accordingly; which in their opinion is like playing God.

28. when the only strategy he/she thinks off is the strategy to CYA (Cover Your Ass).

29. when he/she delegates Stakeholder Management to others, just like Scope Definition or any other project task.

30.  when he/she thinks he/she does not need to work if his/her Business Analyst is managing Scope effectively, Cost Consultant is managing Cost effectively & Scheduling Professional is managing Time effectively.

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