Most Painful Moment: when management refused to accept the facts as presented and proceeded; project failed yet no one wanted to admit why...
Jennifer Collins

San Jose, Ca, United States
I am working on becoming a project manager and this book I believe will help guide me. I would love to have pain free projects and knowing how to avoid mistakes would be great.

My most painful moment as a project manager has been working with a department that does not understand the benefits and effectiveness of Project Management so they do everything possible to go around the process. They tend to work on (secret) projects on their own until someone finds out and they are forced to go back through the process. At that point they tend to be a little difficult because they feel that they have already gathered all of the information and do not need to go back through all of your questions.

Most painful moment was trying to get a team member to work toward the actual objective of the task, instead of what he thought the objective should be.

I am still learning and incorporating the methodologies into my current projects. This book sounds like a great tool.

My most painful moment is getting others to use PMI practices and understanding the benefits of using them.

My most PM Pain Point are when scope, budget, and schedule are met, but the project is not perceived as adding value.
Stuart Siegel
Director Engineering| ProSoft Technology Inc
Mentor, Oh, United States
Most PM pain points are around stakeholder expectations vs reality.
Wow - looking at comments - it sure seems true that project management pain is universal. Must be balanced out for us all by a great sense of accomplishment in overcoming difficult challenges!
Jeff Hollihan
Consultant| New Horizons Computer Learning Centers
Highlands Ranch, Co, United States
Most painful moment: realizing that those around me are not fully invested in the project and are resistant to making the required changes.
Sarma Vadlamani
Sr. R&D Scientist| GSK Consumer Healthcare
Henrico, Va, United States
When team members express that they can not complete their task because of others
Most painful moment: Developer sold the properties before we could see the project come to completion (after almost 5 years of work).
Funding withdrawn from project due to new management
