project management
Project management is a noble ritual of chasing the mirage called completion while wandering an endless labyrinth of tasks. Plans are drafted as sacred contracts, only for reality to betray them and gnaw at stakeholders' nerves between deadlines and budgets. Progress reports are strange beverages brewed by diluting facts and adding hope, then consumed in meetings. Risk management is the study of appearing to tame monsters called risks, while secretly watching them multiply. In the end, the project manager loses control the most, doomed to wander the endless maze of stakeholder meetings.
