And I agree. Sadly, there is usually not enough emphasis placed up front (or time and resources) to put together a good plan on a project by project basis...but there should be. And putting a UAT plan together or a general test plan is not enough and certainly not the same thing. Thanks for commenting! Brad Graham- Good point! And I agree.

The downside of this approach is that quality can never improve at the project or even PMO level, and is treated as a delivery 'add-on'. The quality plan should be a practical document giving direction and not the result of hours of ISO cut-and-paste sessions!

I think on some of those characteristics, though, if you can NEVER learn them or acquire them then it may not work for that particular person as a PM. But, as you said, we were all rookies and we all still fail from time to time...hopefully just not as often as early on (and yes, everyone has project failures). Thanks! Brad Primoz-

I think this post is a contribution to the soft factors to a project sucess! And the traits listed feel just right! I would only ease down Brad's excluding mood: "if you are not this, you are OUT". Remember, we all heave been rookies one day. There will always be hope for those who strive to be better.
