In my opinion the most important thing in project management that many people overlook is in the word MANAGEMENT. Of all the difficulties you face,

The Hardest Thing In Project Management: Managing Cross-functional Activities
I totally agree. However, management of cross functional activities is the hardest thing and are often missed...
For example, security requirements (physical & electronic) often come from the client security department and not the accommodation property group. If it does come from the property group...it is a matter of them forwarding the brief directly to us.
The thing is that some of the reqs are actually in conflict with one another...but unless we go through them in fine combs...we won't know. It is so time consuming (in particular with door schedules etc etc)...
Anybody ever experienced this too...??
