Project Sand Castle
(May 3, 2004)

What do sand sculpting and project management have in common?
I have been in project
management for the past twenty years. Throughout my life, I have enjoyed
numerous visits to the sandy shore. However, it was only recently that I
discovered my passion for sculpting sand on these beaches. At the same
time, I became a project manager for a successful entrepreneurial
company. Perhaps these two aspects of my life have impacted each other, helping
me to grow in each.
Applying my project
management experience in an entrepreneurial company is not impossible, contrary
to what I expected before taking the position. From my vast knowledge and
experience in the field, most entrepreneurs want things done now and often see
project management as a hindrance. Entrepreneurs typically have a low tolerance
for following a project plan; they just want to know when it will be done.
When I joined FindWhat.com
in the spring of 2002, I managed the building and infrastructure of the
company’s future, five-story building.
