Financially Focused Project Management

Chapter 1: Update on Project Management

Introduction

You are a contestant playing the television game show "Wheel of Fortune." You have had pretty good luck so far, winning the preliminary rounds, and advancing to the final spin.

"We know you've got a lot of fans out there in the studio audience." Pat Sajak is as charming as ever. "They'll all be rooting for you as we take a look at the final puzzle!"

You like what you see so far, and already have an idea for the answer.

You hesitate, but only for a moment. "Pat...I'd like an M, G, an F, and the letter A!"

"I think you are going to like what happens when we add those letters!" approves Pat. "Vanna, are there any Ms, Gs, Fs, or As?"

A few members of the audience gasp as the letters begin to appear, and when the last letter is added, the audience bursts into applause.
