I Know Just Enough to Know Better
To further my professional development, I attended a project management workshop today at Holy Cross. And now that I'm back at work, I almost wish I hadn't gone.
The very first e-mail I read invited me to a kick-off meeting for a new project. It's a big one. One that we've just started to seriously consider in our office because it's so daunting. It has far-reaching implications and would change every aspect of my job, at least as it stands currently. Since my job is changing soon (to what, I don't know, except that it will involve the Web and WPI and probably our campus community) it really shouldn't be a big deal. Except that most of the e-mail rubs me and my new project management knowlege the wrong way. I don't yet have the full picture, but most of what I'm seeing does not jive with what I learned today.
Damn. I could have been blissfully ignorant of these pitfalls if I had just skipped that workshop. I just can't wait to see how the project turns out.
