LAW 1
No major project is ever completed on time, within budget, with the same staff that started it, nor does the project do what it is supposed to do. It is highly unlikely that yours will be the first
Corollary 1
The benefits will be smaller than initially estimated, if estimates were made at all
Corollary 2

The Obsessive, Compulsive Project Manager&#8217;s Creed:

If anything can go wrong, Fix It!
When given a choice &#8211; Take Both!
Multiple projects lead to multiple successes
Start at the top then work your way up
Do it by the book&#8211;but make sure you&#8217;re the author!
When forced to compromise, ask for more
If you can’t beat them, join them; then beat them

Murphy was an optimist
Give me a date, I won&#8217;t hold you to it
A lack of planning by you does not constitute an emergency for me
Some days you&#8217;ll be the pigeon and some days you&#8217;ll be the statue
If you don&#8217;t have time to stop for directions &#8211; you’re already late
Plan the work and work the plan

If it can go wrong it will

O&#8217;Malley&#8217;s Corollary to Murphy&#8217;s Law

If it can&#8217;t possibly go wrong, it will

Sod&#8217;s Law

It will go wrong in the worst possible way

Parkinson&#8217;s Law

Work expands to fill the time available for its completion

Whose Law Is This?

A two year project will take three years
A three year project will never finish

10. Our customers really love us, so they don&#8217;t care if our products are late and don&#8217;t work.
9. Organizing to manage projects isn&#8217;t compatible with our culture, and the last thing we need around this place is change.
