Agile Business Navigator

I've had the priviledge of working with many great project managers and unfortunately just as many terrible ones. What constitutes greatness in my mind is the ability to run a project to its completion without running the people on the project into the ground. It isn't the absence of problems, instead its the ability to figure out ways to jump over the hurdles and around the mud puddles that makes them successful PMs. Its the ability to know when to delegate, when to escalate, when to show up with pizza and when to be in the trenches with the troops. Hmm, I could almost sing that to The Gambler by Kenny Rogers.

So, what makes a good PM? Jeanette Cabanis-Brewin writes about Integrity: A Project Manager's Level. Ganthead writes about The Five Ws of Project Management. The Standish Group has launched a search for The World's Best Project Manager.
