Project management - a beautiful thing!

• A user will tell you anything you ask, but nothing more. (And often only what they think you want to hear.)
• What you don't know hurts you.
• There's never enough time to do it right first time but there's always enough time to go back and do it again.
• I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realise that what you heard is not what I meant.
• What is not on paper has not been said.
• The more you plan, the luckier you get.
• A project is one small step for the project sponsor, one giant leap for the project manager.
• The sooner you begin coding, the later you'll finish.
• A badly planned project will take three times longer than expected - a well planned project only twice as long as expected.
• Warning: dates in a calendar are closer than they appear to be.
• There is no such thing as scope creep, only scope gallop.
• Activity is not achievement.
