direction from here?, page-30

I see it as lack of thoroughly professional communication with personnel who probably knew they wouldn't get access to facilities for analysis etc in the timeframe announced to us. Had they been pinned down (as a real project manager would have done), they would have said they can't commit to delivering with the CEO requires in the timeframe. Perhaps this is a pump and dump to interest JV potentials to show how this stock can move (or is this thought far-fetched?). A Project Manager's duty is to accurately report likelihoods of timeframes and budget outcomes. The man needs a PM.
