Hogarth – The Gorilla in the Room• Hogarth is the Gorilla in the room.

Part Elephant, part 800lbs Gorilla• The elephant in the room is an

obvious truth that is being ignored. • The 800 pound gorilla is something

that can act the way it wants without regard for others.

• The Gorilla in the Room is that looming problem that has the power to crush your project into dust and leave the you wondering what was the license plate of the bus you were just tossed under.

Project Management is GPS…

- Anytime something takes more than a day, involves more than one person, has more than one user, or has any moving parts (physical or virtual) there is a chance it can go wrong. - Project Management is your GPS system. The constant ping to ensure you are on track and not doing everything on the bus on the way to school.
