Good one, Robert. Yes, multiple perspectives usually exist on what is important. It becomes a real challenge when these perspectives contradict one another!

These should be attached to inspirational posters and hung on PMO walls

Haha! Thanks. I will do a book of about 100 of them at the beginning of the year. It can be bathroom sized, so we can have our inspiration without interruption.

That would be fabulous :)
I think you should be creative with the presentation in the upcoming book. Some should have fancy calligraphy while some should look like graffiti. Maybe even write some on post-it notes and take pictures. :-)

This started as Haikus on my white board a couple years ago. Great ideals around the design! Thanks.

Design and content
That will sell haiku...and next
PMs read and think!
Poetic and true. And it's the succinctness that grabs me ... I don't mind project folks expounded when there is nuance involved ... but this level of brevity ... hurrah for haiku!

Come to think of it, Haikus are like Tweets. They must be short and to the point,
