What was the best project you ever worked on? What made it memorable? I’ve asked dozens of project teams that question. I wanted to identify the “secret” ingredient that makes for a great project experience. And naturally, I wondered how big a role the project manager had in creating the experience. The answers I got were pretty similar. Most people mentioned the camaraderie, the sense of purpose, the shared vision, and the pulling together of the whole team. Were all these projects easy and straightforward? Not at all—they were often filled with long hours and daunting challenges. That was part of the fun.
