10' reading time . TL; DR. Sometimes, some actions seem good in the short term, but in reality mask serious dysfunctions.

Each puzzle piece is like an artifact or one of the tangible by-products developed during the timeline of a project. The center piece is the project plan, and other pieces that could snap into the center piece may be the project’s charter, a communications plan, and/or a staffing management plan.

When the end of the day finally rolls around, you take a look at your list to see what you managed to accomplish.

I have long been a proponent of remote work, remote project management and the virtual project team concept. It has worked very successfully for me as a PM and consultant, and for many of the organizations I have worked for and consulted for. I know that working from home or wherever the office isn’t, is not necessarily for everyone.
