In case you missed it, Project management is an ever evolving methodology. It's the beast that continues to find new ways to surprise you. Take for instance an initiative that should have wrapped up over a year ago and is still burning through millions of dollars. no need for specifics, we hear about these all the time.

"Communication"

And we hear time and again, Communicate, Communicate,, ai yi yi!!! The message isn't that difficult to understand is it? Maybe it is, because the message shouldn't have been so simple.
