Faulty generalizations

edit

The page is currently based on particulars, and too subjective.

"The project controller is a key member of the project team and works directly with the project manager to help define the project's goals and objectives"

It is as much subjective as "I am a key member of ..., and I work directly with ...".

  • Need to define what a "key member" is. If not all projects have a controller, then it is not a key person.
  • Who works directly with whom cannot be generalized like that, it is specific to the organizations.
  • Who defines the project's goals and who helps them with defining is not definitively related with what a project controller is. It is like saying "project controllers are good people", they can be good, but it is not by definition.

The rest follows the similar patterns. See, Faulty generalization.

A project controller is who does project controls. Who is controlling something on a project is a project controller. What makes different a project controller from other controllers is trying to control a project, something which is being done for the first time and only once.
