Re: Program Management: The Six Phases of a Project

1975 is actually at the Procurement phase... where/how are we gonna get all the parts we need? All we have right now is a robot frame and a shopping list.

However, I'm still enthused. It's better for the project for the leader to remain unworried (outwardly), so the rest of the team doesn't catch on that they should be at panic stage. I think "worry" develops only when a leader lacks self confidence in their ability to solve problems.

Granted, I did have to make a few frantic phone calls. A few parts are coming later than we would have liked; but hey, I like dealing with these kinds of real-world problems.
