[quote=Anonymous]Project management is an exercise in herding cats. Typically the project manager is the one tasked with making sure the project gets done, but actually has no authority of the people doing the work. Thus, the PM is in a situation where diplomacy, motivational techniques and interpersonal skills are at a premium. Those things aren't what is taught in any PM course. The tools, reporting techniques, etc. that are taught are useful, but I'm generally as amused by people who flaunt their PMP as I am by people who flaunt their MCSE. Both are certifications that you've spent time in a course, but they don't actually indicate that you can apply it in the real world and be good at the job. That being said, some jobs, esp. in the gov't, require a PMP certification, so go for quickest/least expensive/least intrusive.[/quote]
