A distressing number of companies honestly believes in rapidly ramping up projects and letting them fail or succeed through sheer force of will.

By its very nature, project management involves problems. Any activity that is unique, has time constraints, and consumes resources will test stamina for problem identification and resolution. No matter how simple or complex your project, the problems will be there. The key to successful interaction with problems is not merely that you recognize them when they occur but how well you pre-plan and execute the resolutions.
