Dinah YoungProject Manager / Software Asset Manager| Prince William CountySpringfield, Va, United States
Have you ever been watching a movie or TV show and realize that a character is doing project management.
I was binge-watching Sons of Anarchy (for those who do not know, a show about a motorcycle "club" that runs guns for the IRA).
The main character, Jax Teller took over as president of the club. I was watching him managing his stakeholders (IRA, Russians, Mexicans, etc). He was trying to keep everyone in line (occasionally, he did need to eliminate a stakeholder). His resource management was very good, sending different club members to handle issues as they popped up and always sending them in pairs so there would be a back-up. Product management and quality control, moving the guns, trading guns, delivering the drugs, etc. Initiating new projects, prostitution in an effort to move away from the guns. Setting up sub-contractors to handle areas of distribution therefore transferring the risk. Schedule management of course to get the guns or drugs where they need to be in a timely manner. Risk management again in dealing with the law and rival gangs.
I was very impressed with the character's application of PMI. Saving Changes...
