Nice try on the haiku. They are first line 5 syllables, second line 7 syllables, and last line 5 syllables. Try again!

Delegate is hard /
You must give them some guidelines /
Or you'll still have work.
Never tried earlier, but this is interesting. Need to do homework now.
I feel more this sort of intuitive ideas should come in.
How about SUDOKU for PM?

Might be easier to do crosswords for PM, Anupam.

Stephane, spot on!
Anupam, I haven't tried Sudoku yet. I started writing Haiku for project managers because every issue related to project management has an accompanying 5,000 articles/blogs about the issue. I find Haiku a great format for distilling the solutions into 17 syllables.
During PMP workshop, I was provided with crosswords. It helped in remembering key concepts, and was great study tool.
Crosswords could be another interesting idea.

Yes, right after the Haiku book publishes. It may be fun to build it.

Delegation is the most important leadership skill especially on large projects with many communication channels.

Lol, Robert, did you visit Japan recently!? Where did this Haiku influence come from :)

I've never been to Japan, but they should invite me. I love Haiku because it makes me distill my thoughts into 17 coherent (okay, usually coherent) syllables.
