Have you ever heard the saying: “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail”? That doesn’t make for much of a carpenter. The more tools you have, and have mastered, the more useful and valuable a carpenter you can be. The same thinking can relate to Project Management. The more tools, methods, and techniques you have to use, like arrows in a quiver, the more projects you can target and complete successfully. But this doesn’t mean that ever PM has the same arrows in their quiver. Like clubs in your golf bag, many people use different tools and techniques to make their shots, and complete the hole successfully. Where I struggle to use a fairway wood, I use my irons quite successfully. My friend, however, cannot his his irons to save his life, so he has a variety of woods to accomplish the same task. Once again, this same metaphor can be applied to project management. Versatility and success in a number of project scenarios comes from mastering a number of tools and techniques, and knowing when and where to apply them.
