Project Management Quotations

Here's a Wiki Quote site with a number of project management quotations. Despite some tired and well worn ones, there are a few gems in there, such as:

"The bitterness of poor quality last long after the sweetness of making a date is forgotten."

"Some projects finish on time in spite of project management best practices."

"The more ridiculous the deadline the more money will be wasted trying to meet it."

"The most valuable and least used phrase in a project manager's vocabulary is "I don't know"."

"The nice thing about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise rather than being preceded by a period of worry and depression."

"The project would not have been started if the truth had been told about the cost and timescale."

"You can con a sucker into committing to an impossible deadline, but you cannot con him into meeting it."

"All project managers face problems on Monday mornings - good project managers are working on next Monday's problems."

"At the heart of every large project is a small project trying to get out."

"Everyone asks for a strong project manager - when they get him they don't want him."

"Good project managers know when not to manage a project."

"If you don't attack the risks, the risks will attack you."

Enjoy...
