Project management quotes

Stephen Seay has posted a collection of project management quotes on his ProjectSteps blog. here are some of the ones I found funniest/most truthful (you get to guess which):
“The sooner you begin coding the later you finish.

A badly planned project will take three times longer than expected - a well-planned project only twice as long as expected.

There are no good project managers - only lucky ones.

Everyone asks for a strong project manager - when they get him they don't want him.

Some projects finish on time in spite of project management best practices.

Fast - cheap - good: you can have any two.

The first 90% of a project takes 90% of the time the last 10% takes the other 90%.

If everything is going exactly to plan, something somewhere is going massively wrong.”

    Read these PM quotes in the lounge car of this site:

    The quotes are organized by role: PM, Exec or Team Memember. Stereotyping. Yes. But laugh out loud funny because their some logic to how they are organized.
