Project Management Update from Romania

BACK DOWN JUST ABOVE THE SCRATCH
THE RECOIL OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT AT EVERY LEVEL
There is no success story guaranteed that, embracing the knowledge, culture, techniques, methodology and standards, one will make a major breakthrough on the career path. The external environment and outside forces should accept and buy into the philosophy of Project Management in its definition given by the forerunners.
Simple statements are probably the most difficult to be understood, and this mainly due to the human inclination to complicate the facts beyond any rationale.
When coming down to the project management, the simple statements like “a project is a unique endeavor apart from repetitive and routinely operations” and “each project needs a project manager” are not quite well understood. Besides semantic interpretation, the fact is the economic contraction hit the profession in a moment when it was on the wave’s crest.
