Law of project management
“No major project is ever completed in time,
within budget and with the same people that
started it. Yours will not be the first.”
“A carelessly planned project
will take three times longer to complete
than expected. A carefully planned project
“One advantage of fuzzy project objectives
is that they avoid the embarrassment
of estimating the corresponding costs.”
“No system is ever completely debugged.
Attempts to debug a system inevitably introduce
new bugs that are even harder to find.”
“Project teams detest progress reporting because
it so vividly manifests the lack of progress.”
“When things are going well, something will
go wrong. When things can’t get any worse,
they will. When things appear to be going
better, you have overlooked something … Murphy was an optimist!”
“If project content is allowed
to change freely, the rate of change
will exceed the rate of progress”
Law of project
management
“Projects progress quickly until
they become 90% complete and then they
remain 90% complete forever.”
