“A project is complete when it starts working for you, rather than you working for it.”
Scott Allen
“The effective use of project management tools and techniques is critical to the success of large projects. By reviewing progress, setting timelines and goals, and managing the budget, we can more effectively utilize limited resources and still meet anticipated goals.”
John Roessler
“Except for those who have got skills that are in short supply, such as project management, business understanding and multimedia skills, we will see a permanent shrinking in demand. If it can be moved offshore it is moved offshore.”
Philip Virgo
“Project management is still a major category of weakness for the agencies. It is still one of the weaknesses [for the government as a whole].”
Karen Evans
“Organizations will not be able to compete globally without putting in place project management processes and continuing to develop their project managers to become leaders within the organization. Technical skills are no longer enough. Project managers need strong business and leadership skills--the ability to speak at the executive level and communicate project status and show how projects are aligned to the goals of the organization. Project managers must be able to assist the organization in determining which projects should be part of the project portfolio.”
Gina Westcott
“Companies cannot compete in today's economy without putting in place project management processes and develop their project managers to become leaders within the organization. The same principle applies to government agencies that are working within constrained budgets.”
“Two problems that have beset London Underground for years -- poor project management and industrial relations -- have come together to close a whole line.”
