Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

"Of Saltines and Deadlines", the new blog post at www.TotalProjectControl.com, explores the history of the dead metaphor (borrowed from the US Civil War) that is "the deadline". It also discusses how the use of these (often arbitrary) artifacts damages project value and performance, and recommends a better way of managing the time sensitivity of most projects.

Leave a comment for me if you'd like to discuss.

Fraternally in project management,
