If you are a professional project/programme or service manager, probably this short article will sound funny- and match with some memories from your own experience.
And if you are a project manager who found that eventually the project that (s)he was managing became a project only by name- I can say that you are not alone.
If you are neither working in project nor service management- you are anyway surrounded by “projects”, “programmes”, “risk management”, “service providers”, “suppliers”, and discussions about “budgets”- be it the annual rite of passage through a Parliament, your home renovation, or just your vacation planning.
