A Project Manager’s Christmas

By Ray (with assistance from Microsoft Copilot)

The tree is trimmed with lights aligned,

All milestones checked and tasks assigned.

A schedule glows by candle’s flame,

All presents wrapped, each gift by name.

Stakeholders gather, warm and bright,

To hail success on a starry night.

Risk logs updated, all issues closed,

While snow falls softly on Santa’s nose.

The budget’s balanced with costs controlled,

Forecasts are steady, no slips foretold.

Earned value sings like carols clear,

Deliverables all wrapped in holiday cheer.

Change requests drift like flakes of snow,

Approved or not, they come and go.

While agile sprints keep spirits high,

Santa’s sleigh streaks through the sky.

Let’s raise a glass to those who plan,

Toast those taming chaos with gentle hand.

For Christmas shines when projects flow,

And project managers make the season glow.

The calendar flips, new charters are signed,

The project manager’s new goals all align.

With vision clear and risks assessed,

2026 begins with project managers blessed.
