As a project manager, there’s perhaps nothing better than starting a new project. With it comes a fresh start and the promise of a successful conclusion. To me, it’s akin to starting a new year in school with new notebooks, where nothing has been written to spoil the fresh sheets of pape…

Interesting questions posed in this Voices on Project Management post. Back in 2004, Wysocki wrote, “The amount of effort put into the design and implementation of a process does not really matter; there is always room for improvement. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the technical professions. As new technologies emerge, new
ways of doing things arise and we must change or die. In other words, an organization simply cannot stand still and expect project management to continue to function at expected levels of effectiveness. It must continuously improve processes or they will fall into misuse or no use at all” (Wysocki, 2004). As project complexity increases, can we afford to stand still in terms of process development?
