PM Quote Corner

Project Management is… The art of creating the illusion that any outcome is the result of a series of predetermined, deliberate acts when, in fact, it was dumb luck.

-Harold Kerzner, 1995

Status AnalysisData Warehouse

• The numbers indicate progress, Good Work.• However there are reporting inconsistencies:

– Not everyone reports everything all the time:– E.g. the districts integrated number is for Q3 was carried over from Q2

because there should not have been a drop. – E.g. Not every one reports number of schools integrated every

reporting period.

• Please report these numbers consistently so that we can tell the RDI Story
