Hope, Belief and Wizardry - Three Different Perspectives on Project Management

Normally, I’m not too much into project management. However, over the last couple of years, I have come across several projects that use hope, belief and wizardry as their primary management tools. You will probably not have heard about these specific projects – and you probably never will. They have gone out of existence, maybe because of too successful management techniques. However, if you’re a consultant or a developer, I’m sure you have experienced your own hope/belief/wizardry project and you could probably tell the same story as I do here.
