PM Quote Corner
Project Management is… The art of creating the illusion that any
outcome is the result of a series of predetermined, deliberate
acts when, in fact, it was dumb luck.
-Harold Kerzner, 1995

Status Analysis
Data Warehouse
• The numbers indicate progress, Good Work.
• However there are reporting inconsistencies:
– Not everyone reports everything all the time:
– E.g. the districts integrated number is for Q3 was carried over from Q2
because there should not have been a drop.
– E.g. Not every one reports number of schools integrated every
reporting period.
• Please report these numbers consistently so that we can tell
the RDI Story
