The end of the world is nigh! Even though the world is still standing right now, there is no guarantee that it will still be intact in a few hours. And that doesnâ²t even account for time zones! So if anything is going to go down, we have plenty of lead time to get our teams together and plan out the ultimate project: survival!
Youâ²ll be glad to hear that project managers are better-equipped than most to handle the apocalypse, whatever form it may take. Weâ²ve got experience in planning, organizing, and making hard decisions, all of which will be vital to make it through the coming decades of doom and gloom.
Risk Management
This is going to a core survival skill in our post-apocalyptic, not-so-distant future. Should we send a group of survivors out for another food run and risk getting eaten by zombies? Or do we sit tight and try to make the rations last another week? Survival is all about balancing pros and cons, and weâ²re very good at that.
Resource Management
Who do we want in our survival group? Only the strongest and most effective survivors, of course! People we can rely on to pull their own weight, and contribute to the teamâ²s ultimate goal: carving a refuge out of the rubble of civilization!
Gantt Charts
Nobody thought anything good would come from Gantt charts in an apocalypse. But they were wrong! Not only can these colorful charts be used to signal rescuersGantt printouts can be used as starter fuel for bonfires and torches, too!
Agile Methodology
People come and go, especially in life-or-death scenarios. One false move leaves your team short a man. But donâ²t worry! The Agile methodology guarantees you can easily work around these changes and find other effective survival strategies!
Waterfall Methodology
When youâ²re building something big, like an impenetrable fortress, it helps to have a plan. Waterfall methodology is perfect, so that you can construct your citadel in a decent amount of time without having to lose too many slaves.
Client Management Skills
You wonâ²t have any more clients to speak of. Instead, youâ²ll be faced with rabid, slavering animals who want to take everything youyou know what? Letâ²s just say clients. Your negotiation and diplomacy skills will prove to be very useful, and youâ²ll need to exercise them to the utmost if your clients are armed and youâ²re not.
Well? What are you waiting for? Youâ²ve got supplies to gather and minions to recruit! Get to it! Chop chop!
