2. How to Eat an Elephant
• A successful project will almost always be judged by
it’s OUTCOME, not by all of the steps it takes to get
there, BUT it’s the steps that lead to the OUTCOME
that will determine the success of a project.
• Many times we are faced with projects that seem
overwhelming to complete, and for the most part they
are UNLESS we, as professionals, can break down a
HUGE project into several “byte sized” projects that
we CAN complete.
• Think of Project or PJ Management like eating an
elephant. Don’t try to eat it all at once, just take one
bite at a time, on a schedule, and you CAN then eat
that elephant!
