Project value can’t be dictated; it must be planned, agreed upon, and easily recognizable. We can't be told something has value. We must be shown its value and left to form our own opinions. In all cases the value of a project must be measurable.
Projects that produce little to no value aren't unique to any one industry or business segment. They are often a result of a project manager or project team with the mentality that says we know best, and we believe we are smarter than everybody else.
We can sum up this type of behavior in one word...Arrogance.
As taken from the website the Inner Frontier:
ARROGANCE - "Those to whom much has been given sometimes suffer from arrogance; or rather the people around them suffer. Arrogance is doubly a pity, because the talents of the arrogant serve primarily themselves. The arrogant assumes his views and opinions are The Truth. In arrogance, natural confidence goes sadly awry. Rather than the self-assurance born of knowing his own strengths and limitations, arrogance admits no limits. The arrogant brooks no weakness in himself and may even secretly rejoice to find flaws in others."
Don't be arrogant and don't manage a project that doesn't have value.
IT IS EASY TO BE SUCCESSFUL WHEN SUCCESS HAS NO MEASURE!
