Whole-brain blogging


I received a brochure today from N.C. State University's Continuing Education department, detailing their "Project Management" seminar series. 

The seminars include topics like "Whole-Brain Project Management," "Mastering Project Management," "Team-Based Project Management" and "How to Communicate, Influence and Negotiate in Project Management."  The fee for each seminar is about $1,300.  The cheapest is "Fundamentals of Project Management for Everyone," which will set you back $695.

I was wondering what people did with big projects in the days before $1,300 seminars about the topic.  Some major projects that came to mind:

- Writing the U.S. Constitution
- The Civil War
- World Wars I and II

I won't belabor the point.
