Project Management Explained
 

When I was a project manager at Andersen Consulting I kept the following sign posted in a discrete place:

The Six Phases of a Project

1. Enthusiasm
2. Disillusionment
3. Panic
4. Search for the guilty
5. Punishment of the innocent
6. Rewards for the uninvolved

This seems a little morbid.

Thats interesting
I think most teams are in one and/or two, three and such don't come until either the last week or two, or during the competition, and I believe the others follow quickly after that.

Not surprisingly, we're still enthusiastic. What is surprising however, is that we've actually accomplished a very important task, which we usually don't even start to think about until week 3!
