Totally agree that understanding the teams strengths/weakness' is really important. Great GNR picture.

I'm glad to get coffees provided my project stays on schedule! Good points regarding being able to stay ahead of the pack to prevent a crisis. Often, the best run projects get the least visibility - because there is no noise. Usually the sign of a great PM. Thanks for the comment.

For those times when you are holed up in a conference room for the weekend solving a problem, the PM’s duty is make sure there is enough coffee. Really. I would also add that a Rockstar PM always knows the status of the project and can literally see into the future to stop an impending crisis and head it off before anyone even knows about it. A good PM will know how to deal with the crisis, a Rockstar PM will prevent the crisis. Glad to see that I didn’t torpedo your Rockstar series!
