NOTES FROM THE CALL:
When managing or working on a project, what you don't know *can* hurt
you. In this presentation, we'll cover 7 common misperceptions about project
management ranging from the truth about variances and change requests (both
should be sought out and celebrated!) to the reality of Brook's Law (meaning
that adding resources to a late project will not always make it finish later!).
