Yogi Berra on Project Management

There's a cute article in Computerworld called Yogi Berra, PMP. The article uses the baseball great's famous quips to make some compelling points about managing projects.

Of course, it didn't include one of my favorites as it applies to project management. When someone said to Yogi, "Hey Yogi, I think we're lost," he replied, "Yeah, but we're making great time!"

Unfortunately, this happens all the time in project management. Many methodologies focus on schedule, budget, and execution----and fall short when it comes to defining the problem and goals (and aligning them with the organization's needs). As a result, we end up getting to the wrong place fast.

Here are some other fun Yogi quotations, and here's the Computerworld article...
