Thought for the Day

Project Management According to Yogi Berra

There are many, almost unlimited examples of project management guidance. Here's Yogi Berra's advice

  • Planning - You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going because you might not get there.
  • Communicating - I didn't really say everything I said.
  • Decision Making - If you come to a fork in the road, take it.
  • Measuring progress - You'd better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six.
  • Executing - Think? How the hell are you gonna think and hit at the same time?
  • Managing - You can observe a lot just by watching.
  • Meeting Deadlines - I knew I was going to take the wrong training, so I left early.
  • Closeout - This is like déjà vu all over again.
