Projects are made of people and relationships.
People have their own will, responsibilities, concerns and roles to fulfill.
Relationships connect people, cause actions, reactions and emotions.
This combination forms a living organism, with its own behaviour and manifestations over time, oblivious to the intentions of each element that is part of it.
This is a project – a powerful and muscular creature, capable of the most spectacular feats and almost miraculous results when well guided, but with a frightening destructive capacity when turned inside out…
The role of the project manager is also to understand this creature, read its temperament and guide it in the best possible way.
The project manager has to be a Project Whisperer.
