Comments on: Story-Telling Prepares for Uncertainty http://www.reformingprojectmanagement.com/2003/02/19/107/ The magazine for the project age Sun, 07 Sep 2008 23:33:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Paulo Napolitano http://www.reformingprojectmanagement.com/2003/02/19/107/#comment-458 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 16:00:00 +0000 http://www.reformingprojectmanagement.com/2003/02/19/107/#comment-458 Hal, The future is fuzzy! It is impossible to decide having 100% surety. If we have it we do not need to decide! The facts show our real position in a point of the time during a project. They cannot make the correction of the course if something is going wrong, but our judgement based on these facts can do this. Judgement is not based in Knowledge only. It is based in our principles, commitments and in our courage to decide even knowing that the future is impredictable. We must deal with uncertainty and sometimes we need to go the next step accepting the risks. This is our job! I am ready for the war! Just call me OK! Hal,
