Ahh!!!...Project deadline

You can con a sucker into committing to an impossible deadline, but you cannot con him into meeting it.
A two year project will take three years, a three year project will never finish.
The sooner you get behind schedule, the more time you have to make it up.
A project gets a year late one day at a time.
The sooner you begin the later you finish.
The bitterness of poor quality lasts long after the sweetness of making a date is forgotten.
If you don’t know how to do a task, start it, then ten people who know less than you will tell you how to do it.
If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs, you haven’t understood the plan.
Activity is not achievement.
The more desperate the situation the more optimistic the situatee.
Anything that can be changed will be changed until there is no time left to change anything.
A change freeze is like the abominable snowman: it is a myth.
Fast – cheap – good – you can have any two.
There’s never enough time to do it right first time but there’s always enough time to go back and do it again.
If everything is going exactly to plan, something somewhere is going massively wrong.
If at first you don’t succeed, remove all evidence you ever tried.
When the weight of the project paperwork equals the weight of the project itself, the project can be considered complete.
