With observation, one can easily tell when a task has been assigned to the wrong resource. A wrong resource on the task is equivalent to assigning a doctor to cook in a restaurant, using a hammer to mow a lawn, or planning a party in a library.

With less than 3% of new consumer goods considered “highly successful” ( i.e. , exceeding first-year sales of $50 million), what can you do to ensure that everything goes smoothly on launch day — and beyond?

Consider the Project Manager First of all we need to consider if a project manager actually has the necessary skills to manage projects. A lot of people get thrown into project management because they are available, with no thought about what skills they need to carry out the role.
