“Even if it is madness, there is a method to it Or: A Fool with a Tool is still a Fool”
A Fool with a Tool is still a Fool.
More standards than ever. More certifications than ever. More frameworks than ever. And still — projects fail at the same stubborn rate.
The uncomfortable truth: no standard tells you which standard to use. PMI knows this — tailoring is a core principle of PMBOK and Disciplined Agile for a reason. But in practice, we keep falling into the same traps.
In this webinar, Gerhard Friedrich, PMP, DASSM and long-standing PMI volunteer, shows how to navigate the world of project management standards with confidence — and which madnesses to avoid.
Because method without judgment is just expensive compliance.
