Like when your project managers start managing their projects by time, and their time accounting improves even as the outcomes of the project (including the schedule) don’t. Like when you incentivise cost reductions and get immediate cost reductions, but notice new costs appearing later in the cycle. Like when you shift your attention to the underperforming members of the team and the overachievers feel under appreciated and look for a happier place to cast their light.
