Project Management Tales
If you know, you know.
These tales are written for the people who’ve lived the chaos behind the Gantt chart.
Real Stories from the Trenches
Step into The Tales — the universe behind the Gantt Chart.
Every tale here reveals a real PM battlefield — pick a narrative and dive in.
These are the stories that were absolutely not approved by Communications: derailed timelines, political plot twists, heroic recoveries, villainous stakeholders, and change requests that qualify as biological hazards.
Here, we unpack the madness behind the milestones: last-minute miracles, executive acrobatics, heroic PM saves, and the occasional slide into full-blown project mythology.
It’s funny because it’s true.
It’s painful because it happened.
And it’s here because someone has to talk about it.
It’s okay. You’re among your people now.
PMTales is read quietly — between meetings, late at night, and during status-report fatigue.
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone in the trench.
If these stories feel uncomfortably familiar, you’ll love the weekly tale.
