"Like drama, projects and project management are applicable and connected to common man's life. Project is a small life in itself that grows and ends through a life cycle."
The enthusiasm, energy, dedication was amazing, and the happiness was evident on everyone's face. Each team member in every team expressed one thing that this event gave them the unique opportunity to look at the project management through totally different perspective. |
The best performer team – Tieto Software Technologies said –
"DG, we would also like to 'Thank You!' for giving us this platform where we could actually discover another talent in us, which was unidentified. Also, we would really like to appreciate the way the whole show was so well coordinated, that not a single time we felt any discomfort right from the registration to.... makeup man to.... stage and light coordination to... our exit, everything was so well managed and that too with a big smile :-)
The PM Jury award for "Best Connect to Project Management" went to Sungard Solutions India. The rest of the awards like actor, actress, screenplay, light, music got announced one by one in the closing ceremony started (as planned) on January 10th at 0930 PM. The auditorium was full of cheers. |
Everyone was clear on one thing that they had already presented the real award to themselves in the form of happiness and absolutely new perspective to project management! Unbelievable when thought about! Difficult when started working on!! And was equally delightful to watch 10 plays on fun, pun, connect to life & paradoxes in project management. |
The event ended with the invitation by DG for 2014 event! Each team promised to be the contestants and participants in the next year's event!
