Progress monitoring?!


As a boss to Program or Project Management Office, surely you need to have overall view or overview on the progress of programs or projects in your company. One of the famous ways to do this is to have a 'war room' where you have projects/programs update with 'traffic light' indicator to tell you which programs/projects are on track or behind schedule/target.

But sometimes, a company would not have the luxury to convert a room into a 'war room', due to space limitation, etc. If that is the case, as a boss to the Program or Project Management Office, you have to sacrifice your room to be a 'replica' to the 'war room' by pasting programs/projects update on the wall of your room, like the one in this picture. Great! Sacrifice, they call it. And expect your sacrifices to be handsomely rewarded.




Hold on!

You are a boss of Program or Project Management Office. And all you have on the wall of your office (replica of the war room) is a sheet of A3 and a sheet of A4 paper to monitore your staff's annual leave like in the picture below.




What kind of Program/Project Management boss are you?

An asshole!
