On the HBR Blog Network, Andrew Shipilov has a eye-catching post on "hub and spoke" project networks, or alliances between project partners, as he describes them. (Say "network" to me, and as an EE, I always jump first to a mind's-eye image of a "mesh", but actually that's one of several general ways to think of networks, and in most situations not a good general model for governance.

I have met with my manager several times to see if I am missing something because once I’ve updated the metrics, there’s nothing else really to do.

Project Stakeholder Management is the hardest part of project management. Why? Stakeholders are human beings. Let’s face it: They can be jerks, they can be demanding, some will wait until the last moment to add up problems. Part of them will be supportive, most will be indifferent.

This pearl of wisdom is true for everyday life, yes, but equally true if you are managing a project. One of those simple things that are easily neglected is project checklists /planning checklist, particularly when we all know that projects don’t get completed by just following a group of tick boxes.
