Project Management...Funny Meme Fridays.

𝟳 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗞𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗼𝗳𝗳.

Most failed projects don't fail at the end.
They fail in the 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, when nobody asked the uncomfortable questions.

Kickoff is the cheapest moment to fix a project. After that, every fix costs more.

𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗽𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟳 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗠 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗲:

🟦 What problem are we solving, and for whom?
🟦 What does success look like in numbers?
🟦 Who has the final say?
🟦 What's out of scope?
🟦 What could kill this project?
🟦 What are we assuming?
🟦 How will we communicate?

𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.

Save this for your next project.
📍 Which kickoff question does your team skip most often?

10/13/2026

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻-𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗠 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼.

Most PM tools ask you to choose.
Powerful but bloated. Simple but limiting. And your data lives on someone else's terms.

𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲 is a young, 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻-𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 project management platform that's winning over teams who want clarity without the clutter.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁:

➔ Issues, 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 and modules for clean sprint planning
➔ Built-in pages for specs and project docs
➔ Multiple views: list, board, calendar, spreadsheet
➔ The option to 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 and keep full control of your data

𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗠 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲.
That's exactly why it's worth a look before everyone else catches on.

📍 Would your team consider an open-source PM tool?

𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗬𝗲𝘀.

Scope creep rarely arrives as a big request.
It arrives as "𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴", asked politely, by someone you want to keep happy.

One yes is a favour.
Ten yeses are a different project, on the same timeline and the same budget.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲:

🟠 Log every request, even the tiny ones
🟠 Ask "what should move to make room for this?"
🟠 Show the cumulative impact, not just the single change
🟠 Agree on a change window instead of constant edits

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗠'𝘀 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲.
It's to make the 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 before anyone signs off on it.

📍 What's the smallest request that grew into a huge change on your project?

10/08/2026

𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.

Not a vibe.
The go-live party happened.

Support tickets started the same night.
Nobody owned hypercare.

The ops lead found out in an email.
The PM was already assigned to the next thing.

You see, projects don’t end at launch.
They end when the next owner can run without calling you.

A real close looks like this…

🔵 Named operational owner before go-live
🔵 Open issues ranked by who gets woken up at 2am
🔵 Knowledge transfer that is demonstrated, not emailed
🔵 A written “we are done when…” that the sponsor signs

If the team is celebrating and the customer is still finding you on Slack, you didn’t close.

You left.
📍 Who owns your last project this week, the project team, or the people who have to live with it?

10/06/2026

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴.

That’s why they stop reading it.
Two pages.

History of the project.
A paragraph on “team morale.”

The ask buried in sentence fourteen.
You see, executives don’t need the novel.

They need the fork in the road.

A useful update has 4 lines:

🔵 Where we are versus the last commitment
🔵 What changed
🔵 The decision you need from them
🔵 What happens if they delay that decision

That’s it.
If they have to hunt for the point, they will invent their own.

And you won’t like it.

📍 If your sponsor only read 4 lines this week, would they know what you need?

10/05/2026

𝗔𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘀.

Write that down.
“Legal will turn comments in 5 days.”

“The vendor has done this before.”
“Ops can support the new process with current staff.”

None of that was confirmed.
All of it was in the baseline.

You see, projects don’t slip because of the work people planned.
They slip because of the work people imagined someone else would do.

Typical treatment…

🟡 Leave assumptions in a kickoff appendix
🟡 Discover they were wrong after the date is public
🟡 Call it a “dependency issue”

Better treatment…

🔵 List the 5 assumptions the plan cannot survive without
🔵 Assign an owner to validate each one this week
🔵 Convert failed assumptions into scope, time, or cost immediately

An assumption you don’t test is a decision you already made.
You just didn’t admit it.

📍 Which assumption is your current date secretly sitting on?

10/01/2026

𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲.

While they’re dying.
Green dashboard.

92% of tasks “complete.”
UAT starts Monday.

The product doesn’t work.
You see, percent-complete is the most dangerous number in project management.

Because it measures motion.
Not value.

Watch for these traps…

🟡 Tasks closed that produced no usable outcome
🟡 “On track” when the risky work is all still ahead
🟡 Traffic-light reports with no date of last real evidence

Use these instead…

🔵 Working software / usable deliverable in the user’s hands
🔵 Time to the next decision, not time spent
🔵 Open risks that can still kill the date

If the only way you know you’re winning is a color, you’re not managing a project.
You’re decorating one.

📍 What metric on your project would still look good if the customer hated the result?
