Fairly Unfair

A project manager and and IT guy stand on either side of a huge pile of paper. The PM is saying she thought her project would be given priority; the IT guy says that all requests go on The Pile
The PM is concerned they won't hit their deadlines; the IT guy indicates the complaints process - a big black hole in the ground

Consistent processes are great for maintaining business efficiency, but one size definitely doesn't fit all. Projects, by their very nature, are unique and usually time-sensitive, so make sure you dedicate the right resources to prioritise them properly. You don't want to find your mission-critical system is now out of support because IT was too busy installing new monitors or because you scheduled a project requiring significant input from the Finance team around year end!
