The Smooth Project Manager

Currently developing the Project Management Plan (nice sets of articles on the subject) for a project I wish the company didn’t undertake, while watching Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, for the 100th time.

The nice thing about this movie is that risk is not really a factor in the Project Management Plan, failure is not permitted, nor possible. If they fail then the movie will end in the first 5 minutes when Barbossa and Lady Swan meet the pirates in Singapore, they get killed, and end of story.

Unfortunately for me, I have to take care of risks and everything else in between in my plan, I cannot hope for things, hoping without planning is a recipe for failure.

Btw, after watching this movie for quite a lot of times, I think it’s excellent, it’s much better than the second one in my opinion, and I’m still not able to decide on whether or not it’s better than the first one. I like the treachery part of the movie, where everyone’s tricking everyone else to get what s/he needs. I highly recommend it.

What are you doing? Go buy this movie!
