    Hi all -

    This is a request for help.

    At the upcoming ProjectWorld conference I will be conducting a
    brainstorming
    session in which we will identify some typical obstacles to good
    project
    management (PM) practice and discuss some of the ways these
    obstacles might
    be overcome. Just in case the audience doesn't generate a wide
    enough
    variety of obstacles and solutions, I'm trying to gather a range of
    examples
    to share. Any ideas or war stories you can provide will be
    appreciated.

    Simply send your responses to the questions below to me (not the
    list) at
    mgreer6062@aol.com -- (I will summarize and share with the list.)

    1. What are some of the obstacles you face when you try to
    implement good PM
    practices?

    2. How do you overcome (or try to overcome) these obstacles?

    Thanks for your help!
