When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me, ... let the schedule be, let it be
Another not so planning engineers songs is by Matt Monroe
"Impossible Dream" by Matt Monroe.
"To Dream, the impossible dream" ... means basically this is what planning engieers are doing unrealistic plans, unreachable, unattainable milestones, etc. much worse if the commercial guys will dictate the preparation of plans and schedule
"To fight the unbeatable foe" means works hard to beat the deadline, fight with clients representative to get baseline approvals.
"To bear the unbearable sorrow" means it is really a pity for planning engineers to produce plans and schedule. no support from colleagues, no support from management, if the baseline plans is not approve, oh dear, another, process or cycle to come up with baseline revision 1, ....
Thank you,

Hi All
I am begining to think that Shakespear must have been a latent planner.
How else do we explain "Measure for measure’s sake" and "All’s well that ends well - eventually"
Just for the sake of it -
A guy goes into a bookshop and asks for a Shakespear play.
"Which one?"
"William!"
Best regards
Mike Testro.
"Songs For Swinging Planners"... anything by AC/DC might do the trick, Mike ;-)
Robbie Williams: Better Man
"Give me endless summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel Im getting old
Before my time"
if tv shows are in, id say Prison Break. yes?
My theme song
"My Way"
"And now the end is near" means Project almost complete.
"And so I face the final curtain" means it is performance evaluation time for bonus purposes 5 months, 2 months or nothing.
"I planned each chartered course" Im a planning engineer all my life
"each careful steps" a very detailed plan, career path
"along the by-ways" means every phase of the project.
"I did it my way" means Im a born leader, I implemented it my way
Thank you,
Scarlett
