The holiday season is approaching, and Christmas is a popular holiday here in the US. In honor of the season, here is a project-management version of the classic song “The Twelve Days of Christmas”:
At the first meeting of Christmas, my PM gave to me:
- A green light on on the project grid
I will leave it to you to add all the verses in between. Here is the last verse:
At the twelfth meeting of Christmas, my PM gave to me:
- A green light on on the project grid
- Two change requests
- Three deadlines
- Four budgets blown
- Five new late tasks
- Six sponsors sleeping
- Seven schedules slipping
- Eight critical paths
- Nine changes to scope
- Ten cost accounts
- Eleven checklists
- Twelve predecessors
