10 things you’ll never hear from a project manager

1. I didn’t see that risk coming!
2. This whole project is based on a case study I read in the paper last week.
3. I’m not sure this project is going to deliver any benefits.
4. The project is running well ahead of schedule.
5. I think we’ll miss that milestone by quite a long way.
6. We’re charging you far too much to run this project.
7. There’s far more budget and time than is needed.
8. I didn’t actually have a plan; I was playing it by ear.
9. I can’t take credit for that success.
10. How about paying us based on the success of the project?

NB.  I can’t remember where I saw this first.  I found it on my disc recently.  If anyone out there knows from whence this came, I will happily credit the original creator.  Until then, have a good laugh….
