Project Management

A friend here decided that she really did not
like the decor in her dining room, so she
sought out some tailors in the market and
arranged to have slip covers made for her
dining room chairs. The next day 6 guys
carrying their wares showed up at her door.
She cleared a space in the living room and
the 6 of them got to work measuring, cutting,
and sewing. They measured the chairs and
fabric using their hands and arms as
measuring sticks. One of them pulled out a
sewing machine, set it up on the floor, and
started sewing together the bits of fabric
that had been measured and cut by his
colleagues. All 6 of them had tasks to do, and
all of them worked quickly and efficiently to create
some very well made slip covers in only a few hours.

Now that's what I call project management!
