Haiku for project managers - stakeholders

Categories: haiku, focus, stakeholders

It's important to understand who the stakeholders are on our projects. Not all stakeholders are alike. No matter how well you plan, your understanding of them will remain a mystery.

Cat curled up on an office chair

What are stakeholders? /
Things you'll never understand /
Even with a plan

Focus on the stakeholders that matter. The ones that can cause your project to fail. The ones where the relationship is important.
