Project Management Vs Astrology

The topic, itself surprising...Yes its. Based on the nature, we are aware, they are different subjects, but based on my personal observation, 'had blessing to see quiet a lot of commonalities. Those observations are depicted as part of this post.

What is Project Management?
Unique, Time bound, Capability to deliver product, service or result

What is Person?
Unique, Person begins his life and gets over i.e. Time bound, as long as survives, ensure to deliver goods as per purpose.

How Astrology linked with Person?
A study observing person behaviours, progressions, characteristics and anticipating future performance of the same, by the process of extrapolation. To study this, we refer based on another parameter, which is cutting across person, is Time. This is measured, based on the position of planets, moving around mother planet earth.

How does, above linkage influence with Project Management?
As per Project Management, we observe, so many different projects, across technologies, across geographies. The observation is to, identify parameters, factors, characters, which support for project success. By improving those thing, which helps to improve subsequent projects delivery. This practice, is also known as lessons learnt.

So, Project Management & Astrology learning are common for all?
No. Neither Project Management Nor Astrology defines the same.

Both works on localisation & specialisation.

Project Management learnings, and implementation, greatly influenced by organization culture, and strategic focus. This is NOT common across industries, across companies, within company across different accounts, different portfolios, different projects etc.

Similarly, Astrology, defines the predication based on the individual's birth location & time, the horoscope made. The progression, is dependent upon, their close family members horoscope, their friends horoscope, their relative horoscope, their peer group horoscope also. Based on individual karma(can be mapped with learnings), family karma(organization culture), support from society(strategic focus) his success, gets defined.

That's all for this post. We will see few more posts, comparing PMI Knowledge Areas with Planets characteristics. Thanks.
