Welcome to the MetaPM May Newsletter

"Plans are useless, Planning is essential" - Dwight Eisenhower

It is often said that projects fail at the beginning, not at the end. Inadequate definition and initial planning are amongst the most common project management mistakes that lead to later project difficulties, if not complete failure.

As sea captains and aviators use charts to ensure that they navigate true to their planned course, effective project mobilisation and subsequent planning are essential elements of project success.

We hope you enjoy this newsletter and find its contents useful with information and insights into the world of Program & Project Management.
