Project Managers' Sizes!

At first, a PM to me meant a respectful person, full of experience and knowledge, some kind of a Chinese monk, sober, who knows what s/he does and knows that his/her job is to deliver successful projects as much as to help people and guide them. To my surprise “as usual”, I found out that there are different types of PMs in the world… In other words, different sizes of PMs! Let me introduce to you two project managers’ sizes and my stories with them. Mini PM referred to as Miss Mini and Mighty PM referred to as Mr. Mighty… Mini PM When I first met her, I tried to convince myself that she definitely looks much younger then her real age. Anyways… for her, a planning activity was equivalent to and maybe easier than preparing for a picnic or a weekend trip with friends and family! She was assigned a very big strategic project, and her role was to create the high level project plan for all teams and to coordinate with them to deliver the big project on time "of course".
