Project Baby: How reality goes

Ever wonder what are the designations and who are the people who held them for any project? Here's a simple analogy. Enjoy!


Project Manager: is a Person who thinks nine women can deliver a baby in one month.

Construction Manager: is one who thinks a single woman can deliver nine babies in one month.

Contract Manager: is one who asks if the baby is in the budget (and if it saves money to adopt).

Project Engineer: is a person who thinks he can deliver a baby if no man and woman are available.

Section Engineer: is a Person who thinks it will take 18 months to deliver a baby.

Design Engineers: are still figuring out how to produce a baby.

Procurement Team: thinks they don't need a man or woman; they'll produce a child with zero resources.

Document Control Team: thinks they don't care whether the child is delivered they'll just document 9 months.

Quality Auditor: is the person who is never happy with the PROCESS to produce a baby.

Site Engineers: don't care...they just want the woman!!!

Client: is the one who doesn't know why he wants a baby.

Quantity Surveyor: is the one who wait for the baby to be delivered, so that they can make claim to be its father
