My sister's boyfriend asked me earlier what the ''6 P's'' where, As he'd seen/heard it well watching a program about the Military on the weekend, He and my family that were present were querying and laughing for awhile.

That's encompassed by preparation and mine rolls off the tongue better. I'll stick with it :D

I'm inclined to agree with you but in project management the planning and preparation stages are separate. You might plan to cook a lasagne (what you need, when you're going to do it etc.) then prepare the ingredients before the actual execution. :)

They are Prior Planning and Preparation Prevent P*** Poor Performance.

What it general means, is if you do not plan for it, WHEN it happens you are in the Sh..

I use it in my signature, as have used it a personal motto for a long while (over 30 years), from when I was a cadet before I joined the military proper.
