My therapist has asked me to abstain from posting on the subject of AI for two weeks to provide his team with transparent access to the essential nature of my thoughts, which he states will be on full display in our next session due to the heightened state of withdrawal.
Although a seemingly borderline ethical request to ask of a patient, I recognize it’s for the better good of society, as this will provide the final clinical observation, enabling the team to submit the paperwork for a new series of AI-centric medical diagnosis codes. So, I hold on to the therapist’s stirring words, “Mr. Freeman, your sacrifice will not be forgotten.”
-----------------------------
Hence, if you are willing, I would like to solicit your “satirical expressions or humorous anecdotes” that, if you dig deep, should flow from your experiences as a project professional.
Although you can structure it any way you want, for instance, by stating something funny that happened to you in your practice, I have provided example subject areas below with an expression to get you started.
Don’t just do one; ponder it over time, then return and do another. Again, you do not need to follow my template.
-----------------------------
[A] You know you are a seasoned project manager when: - You can assign “each and every” grey hair to a past project event. - … [B] Interpretations of agility - Software developer: NO --> Project Manager, Documentation, Estimations or Planning - … [C] Project management advice - The sparse use of “no” is often frowned upon as a leader; the abundant use of “no” allows you to pursue other career opportunities - … [D] Deadlines and Estimating - Deadlines do not get the respect they deserve, so be sure to salute them as they pass you by - … [E] Change management - A management change is the quintessential expression of change management - …
Let’s have fun with this, or conversely allow it to “fall below the fold,” never to be seen again.
We manage three types of projects . . .
Good, Fast, and Cheap
* If it's good and cheap - it will not be done fast
* If it's good and fast - it will not be done cheap
* If it's fast and cheap - it will not be done good
I know, horrible grammar and sophomoric humor but it's good for a chuckle.

Aaron,
To keep your progression going, we need to understand what happens when you have all three, hence:
If a project is good, fast, and cheap, then it’s time to wake up, have a cup of coffee and start your day.

A lovely day-dream, then the caffeine kicks in and we realize we can only have 1 of the 3 outcomes!

You should always be willing to try adventurous new things during your project management career. However, if at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you! Saving Changes...
