Project Management Tool - Buck Passing


Buck passer
The wise project manager maintains a list of people to whom the buck can be passed when this becomes necessary. Particularly useful in the project evaluation phase. Make lists and allocate priorities (proportionate with the degree of aggravation casued to the project manager.

e.g:

  • line managers who failed to give up their claim to resources...
  • controllers of corporate purse strings who failed to cough up the necessary readies....
  • project board members, who questioned the validity of the project, or started raising awkward bloody questions about status reports, demanding to be kept up to date......,self righteous, megalomaniac, meddling gits....er I think you get the message.
