Successful Project Management: PLAN, EXECUTE, EVALUATE Sounds simple, but most projects aren't well planned nor are they evaluated well. The tendency is to jump right into execution and as soon as execution is completed (which usually isn't soon), move on to the next project without evaluating what happen on the present project and what could have been improved. Successful project management requires more front and back end resources (and less middle) than are usually allocated.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of thorough planning and evaluation in successful project management. It highlights the common tendency to overlook these stages and rush into execution, subsequently moving on to the next project without reflecting on the previous one. According to the quote, successful project management requires allocating sufficient resources to both the initial planning stage as well as the evaluation stage, rather than solely focusing on execution. This balanced approach ensures that lessons learned from previous projects are taken into account, leading to improved future outcomes.
