As an "accidental" project manager, it's very satisfying to contribute to the project management community online with anecdotes and stories I've picked up from my own experience. I hope you enjoy our daily conversation.

santaIn the spirit of the season, since this will be my last post until after the holiday, I thought I would write my post to the tune of Jolly Old Saint Nicolas. Feel free to sing along:

Jolly Project Manager,

Send your Gantt this way,

Don’t you tell your Stakeholders,

What I’m going to say,

Mile-stones are coming fast,

Time is running low,

Will the project finish by…

Deadline … you should know.

IT wants a big new raid,

Dev, they want some sleep,

Marketing is speaking now,

Wow, it’s getting deep…

Con-sul-ting and ser-vic-es,

They all want to aid,

Jolly Project Manager,

Your looking kind of frayed.

As for me, this holiday,

As time abbreviates,

Christmas Eve is almost here,

Our families all await…


Happy holidays everyone.

—Ty
