Wish for Serendipity, take advantage of the fluke, and never trust to dumb luck!


Graph Cartoon 7231: Serendipity is up, fluke is doing well, but I’m a little concerned about our dumb luck.
Of course we all want Serendipity to visit us on our projects, we welcome help from any source. A Project Manager can increase the chances of our friend Serendipity visiting the project by:

  • Being alert, 
  • noticing what others do not see, 
  • putting together the project jigsaw as the new pieces emerge in the form of issues, ideas etc...

How does this all relate to project success?  

Successful projects do not just happen. A Project Managers career is going to be a short and painful one if they do not understand how to set up their projects to be successful.
