You probably would have seen some variation of this set of images. I created this sometime back as part of a "Project Management 101" training program for my team of project managers. I wanted to show how disconnected a project could be, in terms of expectations and responsibilities from different stakeholders involved in a project. With simple images, it really does push the point across.
I truly believe that the project manager is the key person in making sure everyone has the same objectives and speaks the same language. A strong project manager would greatly reduce the disconnect seen in the cartoon above.
Does your organisation have a different set of stakeholders? Like to create your own set of project management cartoon like the above? Try this at
