Mendix Idioms for Project Managers

Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles your project

Wait for issues in your

project to arise from those

who are directly affected by

them. Looking for problems

manifests problems that you

may not have had in the

first place.

Almost [on time] only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades

Scope your project to the

best of your abilities, if time

is running out and

stakeholders are getting

worried, speed up your

project, don’t extend your

scope.

Waterfall is slower than molasses going uphill in January

The waterfall approach to

software development is so

2007. Go agile and your

project will be finished in a

few iterations.

That is the way the cookie crumbles, deal with it

You never know what issues

will arise in your work. Make

the best of it, learn from

mistakes, and carry on chin

held high.

Run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes

Most knowledgeable people

can spot a good idea when

they see one. Expressing

these ideas and getting

feedback from your team and

your superiors is the only

way to see them fly.
