Talk:Project Management/FAQs

Planning is a big part of what thinking is for and project is just another name for prey, of course it is temporary endeavor, it is a hunt. Likewise it has a fixed start and end date because it has an objective persued by tiny finite beings, us. Again the fact that it is unique and no two projects are exactly the same, and it is not a routine operation all have to do with who we are - this is the plain of our existance. The team of people, temporary in nature, dispersed at the end of the project. Is again part of us, tomorrow we will organize another hunt. Our collective resources become our private resources which we will again collectivise. We have toned down the experience and made it into an abstract but we need to hunt big beasts with spears, it is human. Having bagged a few ROI's and even a few institutions and a couple of monuments for the ages I dream of bigger game: not only the planets and stars but cultural, social, and scientific conquests. We can do these things, not in the least because we can define them, and plan them. The trick, if it ever was a trick, is to percieve these things as resources, then we can organize the hunt.
