Ah, Murphy’s Law… you might not have heard of it in a business meeting, but you’ve definitely felt it in real life!
🔻 “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” 🔻
Why It’s Important in Project Management:
- Helps project managers anticipate worst-case scenarios.
- Encourages building buffers (extra time, budget, and resources).
- Prepares teams to be proactive, not reactive.
Example:
You’re planning a corporate event. You assume the venue will be available, the caterers will be on time, and the AV equipment will work perfectly. But what happens if…
🚨 The venue gets double-booked?
🚨 The caterers are late?
🚨 The microphone fails during the keynote speech?
A good project manager plans for all of these “what-ifs”, so when something inevitably goes wrong, they already have a solution ready. That’s Murphy-proofing your project!
