Project Manager quotes!

Project Management Laws

  • If it can go wrong it will - Murphy's law.
  • If it can't possibly go wrong, it will - O'Malley's corollary to Murphy's law.
  •  
  • It will go wrong in the worst possible way - Sod's law.
  •  
  • Work expands to fill the time available for its completion - Parkinson's law.
  •  
  • Finely chopped cabbage in mayonnaise - Coleslaw.
  •  
  • If there is a 50% chance of something going wrong then 9 times out of 10 it will.
  •  
  • A two year project will take three years, a three year project will never finish - (anyone know who's law this is?)
  •  
  • Murphy, O'Malley, Sod and Parkinson are alive and well - and working on your project.

  1. Went the pressures on to deliver I always find myself coming out with some gems..and the team always pick up on them!?!

    Kick the Tyres
    Square the Circles
    Pushing against an Open Door
    Can’t Eat an Elephant
    Taking us down Rabbit Holes
    The End of the beginning
    Genies out the bottle
    The die is cast
    Don’t believe your own bullshit
    It’s more a touchy feely thing

    and above all

    My way is your way!
