Project Management is just about managing TO-DO list ?

The discussion happened at the lunch table with some of my colleagues, inspired (fired :-)) me to scribe this post.

There is a sick in project management called TO-DO listing and the infection is spread by managers who think the project management is nothing more than making a list of everything that everybody should do.

This TO-DO methodology mainly focuses on activities, leads to team members who mindlessly follow the project manager's lists,even if all the steps are not necessary ( like the one's we do just for the so called "Process" :-) ). It also creates team members who have no faith in the project and no interest in active problem-solving or overcoming obstacles. They just follow the to do list.

Is this all about Project Management ? Pitchin with your views.
