1 . P r o j e c t M a n a g e m e n t Professional (PMP) by PMI:

A young project manager was leaving the office one evening when he found the CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand. The Project Manager (PM) was new to the company and wanted to make a good impression with the senior so he approached him.

“Listen", said the CEO, "this is important and my assistant has left. Can you make this thing work?" "Certainly", said the young man, flattered that the CEO had asked him for help. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper and pressed the start button. "Excellent! Excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the machine. "I need two copies of that."

While amusing, this bit of PM humor can also serve as a reminder to make sure you get task requirements right and don't assume what the stakeholder wants out of a project!

v The same work under the same conditions will be estimated differently by ten different estimators or by one estimator at ten different times.

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

v Nothing is impossible for the person who doesn't have to do it.

v If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

v Of severa l poss ib le i n t e r p r e t a t i o n s o f a communication, the least convenient is the correct one.

v Anything that can be changed will be changed until there is no time left to change anything.

v If you fail to plan you are planning to fail.

Project Management(PM) - Humor Helping the CEO is a good thing, right...?

To the Optimist,The glass is half full.

To the pessimist,The glass is half empty.

To the Project Manager,The glass is twice as big as it needs

to be.
