Philosophy

Leo Babauta wrote “simplicity boils down to two steps: Identify the essential. Eliminate the rest.” Excellent project management is a result of following this dictate. Give your clients what they need, when they need it, how they need it. Anything else is a distraction (or if you follow Project Management Institute guidelines, “gold plating”). That said, the added external value in project management is warmth, as relationships power projects.
