When Does Your Project End?

We’ve all been involved
with a project that simply doesn’t end.

We’ve left a company
and, years later,
our successor is still phoning us
for advice.

A product has failed,
is dead, dead, dead,
yet one person on the project team
won’t accept this
and asks us for more information.

A partner on a promotion
automatically renews it,
even though that product being promoted
is no longer our focus.

Project managers are great
about determining
when a project starts.
We’re lousy
about determining
when a project ends.

Ensure your project plan
has an end point.
