🎄 The Keeper of the Christmas Flow 🎄
It's Christmas Day. And what could be a better time than publishing a poem about the people who keep our projects organized and well on track. To all Project Managers and everyone else giving all and everything to deliver on project goals: Merry Christmas 🎅
In the workshop up north where the cold winds blow
A PM keeps the magic running in a steady flow
With a clipboard of cheer and a mug of delight
They guide Christmas delivery through day and night
They take Santa’s big goals and shape them with care
Into tidy plans the elves can actually share
They rank every toy by effort and joy
So nothing slows down the making of cheer for each girl and boy
They gather the elves and the Clauses too
For meetings where candy canes sweeten each view
Updates are wrapped like presents so neat
No surprises inside, just the truth and a treat
They guard Christmas scope from festive inflation
Because every wish needs clear expectation
Only the gifts that bring value get made
No sneaky requests from the Naughty List brigade
They check that toy parts arrive on time
So wrapping can start in a smooth merry line
Velocity tracked like sleigh speed in flight
They unblock the elves to keep production bright
They balance the needs of reindeer and elves
While Santa keeps dreaming far beyond shelves
With calm steady guidance they keep spirits high
Not even Blitzen’s mood can make morale fly
They spot risks early like chimneys too tight
Or weather reports that worry the night
Escalations to Santa are clear and concise
No panic, just context and helpful advice
When a toy machine jams or a blueprint goes wrong
They roll up their sleeves and jump right along
Workshops get sorted with teamwork and cheer
Quality saved for the children each year
Velocity soaring as fast as reindeer
CSAT from kids is the metric most dear
Profit stays healthy with no cost increase
And delivery predictable down to each piece
So here’s to the PMs who guide every sleigh
Turning chaos to magic in their own special way
May your projects be merry and your timelines shine
Happy Christmas to you, may your season be fine
