I enjoy watching auto races (a favorite past-time of my late father) so you may find references in my posts to race cars and, in particular, the racing teams. A driver is a part of the team and he or she takes most of the glory, but it is the team which supports them that makes the difference in their race. In Formula 1 and Indy Racing League, managing the entire team is one of the most technologically advanced and challenging projects to manage. For the racing team, fractions of seconds matter and poor decisions are met with swift consequences and often take many perfect decisions to make up the difference. To watch the team work in harmony is to see project management at its finest.
