A Legacy of Collaboration
Journey forward to project management success
As we celebrate Labor Day, it's important to reflect on its origins and how the principles it honors—hard work, dedication, and collaboration—are at the heart of successful project management.
Labor Day, established in the late 19th century, was born from the labor movement's fight for fair working conditions and recognition of workers' contributions. Just as labor unions worked collectively to achieve significant milestones, project management relies on teamwork, planning, and effective communication to reach its goals. Both share a commitment to ensuring that every task, no matter how small, contributes to a larger objective.
In project management, much like the labor movement, collaboration and respect for each team member's role are essential. Every project is a mosaic of individual efforts, where success is achieved not just by meeting deadlines but by fostering an environment of mutual respect and shared responsibility. Labor Day serves as a reminder that behind every project are dedicated individuals whose collective efforts drive progress.
As project managers, we integrate these values into our daily work—championing teamwork and striving to deliver projects that not only meet scope but also uplift the people involved.
With this in mind, let’s celebrate the spirit of collaboration that drives both our projects and the labor force that continues to build our world.

TRIVIA TIME
What is the primary purpose of a project charter? |
The correct answer to last week’s trivia question: The MoSCoW method is a popular prioritization technique used in project management to categorize requirements based on their importance and urgency. The acronym stands for:
Must-have: Critical requirements that are essential for the project’s success.
Should-have: Important requirements that are not vital but add significant value.
Could-have: Desirable requirements that are not essential and can be omitted if necessary.
Would-like-to-have: Optional requirements that are the least critical and often considered last if there’s time or budget remaining.
