On several occasions I have been in a meeting with clients and/or colleagues who defined their execution plan using the words hope or hopefully . From my perspective hope really shouldn't be part of your strategy for success. Instead, I believe a person should be clearly articulating the objectives, deliverables, scope and change management plan that will be used to execute on the project. Having an effectively planned strategy will allow a person to deliver a project without using words like hope or hopefully.
What are your thoughts on hope as a strategy?
I agree Ahmed! With regard to Project Management, hope is postponed disappointment. We need to strategize, plan, execute, track and achieve ... all of which are measurable. Hope is not.
