40 RULES OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT
- Nothing is impossible for the person who doesn’t have to do it.
- You can con a sucker into committing to an impossible deadline, but you cannot con him into meeting it .
- At the heart of every large project is a small project trying to get out.
- A user will tell you anything you ask about, but nothing more.
- Of several possible interpretations of a communication, the least convenient is the correct one.
- What you don’t know hurts you.
- There’s never enough time to do it right first time but there’s always enough time to go back and do it again.
- The bitterness of poor quality lasts long after the sweetness of making a date is forgotten.
- I know that you believe that you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realise that what you heard is not what I meant.
- What is not on paper has not been said.
- A little risk management saves a lot of fan cleaning.
- If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs, you haven’t understood the plan.
- If at first you don’t succeed, remove all evidence you ever tried.
- There are no good project managers – only lucky ones.
- The more you plan the luckier you get.
- If everything is going exactly to plan, something somewhere is going massively wrong.
- A project is one small step for the project sponsor, one giant leap for the project manager.
- Good project management is not so much knowing what to do and when, as knowing what excuses to give and when.
- Everyone asks for a strong project manager – when they get them they don’t want them.
- Overtime is a figment of the naïve project manager’s imagination.
- Quantitative project management is for predicting cost and schedule overruns well in advance. Metrics are learned men’s excuses.
- For a project manager overruns are as certain as death and taxes.
- Some projects finish on time in spite of project management best practices.
- Fast – cheap – good – you can have any two.
- There is such a thing as an unrealistic timescale.
- The project would not have been started if the truth had been told about the cost and timescale.
- A two year project will take three years, a three year project will never finish.
- When the weight of the project paperwork equals the weight of the project itself, the project can be considered complete.
- A badly planned project will take three times longer than expected – a well planned project only twice as long as expected.
- Warning: dates in a calendar are closer than they appear to be.
- Anything that can be changed will be changed until there is no time left to change anything.
- There is no such thing as scope creep, only scope gallop.
- A project gets a year late one day at a time.
- If you’re 6 months late on a milestone due next week but really believe you can make it, you’re a project manager.
- No project has ever finished on time, within budget, to requirement – yours won’t be the first to.
- Managing IT people is like herding cats.
- If you don’t know how to do a task, start it, then ten people who know less than you will tell you how to do it.
- The person who says it will take the longest and cost the most is the only one with a clue how to do the job.
- The sooner you get behind schedule, the more time you have to make it up.
- The nice thing about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise rather than being preceded by a period of worry and depression

Murphy's Law
Every rule has an exception except the Rule of Exceptions.
Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD.
Don't let go of something until you have a hold of something else.
When you wear new shoes for the first time, everyone will step on them.
You cannot force Murphy's Law to happen and you can't use it in reverse.
When something goes wrong, you cannot find the solution in the instruction booklet, but someone else always does.
Everything in life is important, important things are simple, simple things are never easy.
Think about it, complete the circle.
It takes forever to learn the rules and once you've learned them they change again.
You will find an easy way to do it, after you've finished doing it.
The wind will always blow opposite to your hairdo
The probability of the toast landing peanut-butter-side-down is directly proportionate to the cost of the carpeting.
A valuable falling in a hard to reach place will be exactly at the distance of the tip of your fingers.
If a valuable falls in a hard to reach place at a distance shorter than the tip of your finger, as soon as you try to reach it you'll push it to that distance.
If it looks good,
And it taste good,
And it feels good,
There has got to be something wrong some where,
So be careful.
Behind every little problem there's a larger problem, waiting for the little problem to get out of the way
When you really need something, its either not available, or can't be found. When you don't need it, its either available, or lays around in plain sight.
Whenever you cut your finger nails, you find a need for them an hour later.
The file you are looking for is always at the bottom of the largest pile.
Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself.
If something is likely to happen AND desirable, it won't happen.
Two wrongs don't make a right. It usually takes three or four.
If the truth is in your favor no one will believe you.
Laws are like a spider web, in that it snares the poor and weak while the rich and powerful brake them.
Stupidity is the fundamental driving force of the Universe, which explains why stupid people always go wrong.
If your action has a 50% possibility of being correct, you will be wrong 75% of the time.
If you plan for something to go wrong, and it doesn't go wrong, it would have been ultimately profitable for it to go wrong.
The difference between Stupidity and Genius is that Genius has its limits.
Those who don't take decisions never make mistakes.
Anything that seems right, is putting you into a false sense of security.
If everything seems great, its already gone wrong.
The only time you're right, is when its about being wrong.
The only times something's right, is when everyone agrees its wrong.
If for some reason Murphy's Law fails to operate, it is building up for something big.
The person ahead of you in the queue, will have the most complex transaction possible
Every problem is replaceable with a bigger one.
Trust only those who stand to lose as much as you.
You can't expect the unexpected, otherwise there would be no need for the word unexpected
If you lose something that is replaceable (textbooks, clothing etc) as soon as you buy a replacement the original will surface.
Better to be a pessimist than an optimist because when you say the glass is half empty it will have to be refilled
When things are going right, you won't notice
And we'll end this page with something optimistic (don't hit me).
Don't worry about Murphy's Law, you know it's gonna happen anyway, so just get on with it and get it over with!
All this Murphy's law are taken from

5. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn'Microsoft sentence', so when you will provide that?
6. I brought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'MY Computer': when you will provide the remaining items?

Too complicated
Here something interesting..
When the space organization NASA first started sending up astronauts they discovered ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To solve the problem, NASA scientists spent ten years and $12 billion to develop a pen that would write in zero gravity, upside down, under water, on all types of surface, and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300 Celsius. The Russians used a pencil.
Moral : Sometimes things are simpler that we think..
