Thanks Monty and I you are exactly right with your quote. You have to have a goal in order to achieve it. I know we've been planning a trip and someone once said often times people spend more time planning a vacation than they do planning their lives...I'd imagine there is a corollary to the workplace although project management certainly makes a major difference.
Nice point about the importance of making sure the charter is what the sponsor wants. Have you seen a project proceed without having this alignment?
