On today\\u2019s show we are talking about managing projects. In particular, there is a disease in project management which I call one week itis. This is where a project is delayed by one week every week. Today\\u2019s show is a cautionary tale in which I\\u2019m going to describe a project management failure that happened in our company. Now we did correct it, but not nearly fast enough for my liking. I\\u2019m sharing this failure so that you can learn from our mistake and hopefully you don\\u2019t repeat the same mistake.

It happens that in some cases a project manager takes a high initiative role in managing a project. That\\u2019s often what you want as long as they are doing a good job of communicating what is happening in the project.

But we had a situation recently when the project manager was in fact using that posture to protect their ego. In truth, we don\\u2019t fully know why they were acting this way. Here is the story.
