Consider Burj Khalifa.

It’s widely understood to be a triumph of architecture and engineering, for the most part due to its height and beauty.

I think so too, although I know nothing important about it. If I had an office on the 157th floor that was too warm or cold, the facilities manager might or might not agree with my assessment of the building – he might consider the HVAC system to be an engineering disaster, just as the network engineers responsible for cable management might or might not appreciate the provisions for cable runs and wiring closets.

Bare Bones Project Management was supposed to be nothing more than a lightweight summary of standard project management practice. A few years and several hundred seminar participants later, it turns out that it is, in fact, more than that. Unlike traditional IT project management it asks project managers and project teams to take responsibility, not only for completing projects, but for their success as well.

Who knew that would be controversial.
