Abstract
Within the little league baseball, a project management has been practiced. For example, it clearly sets a definite period to achieve a goal like winning a game or a tournament, organizes team with children of unique talents, and plans various strategies to win depending on a type of an opponent. From very short PDCA cycle ofa little league baseball team management which a result comes out for each game totaling to about 50 games yearly, a valuable know-how and many other learnings have been confirmed. These management know-hows are effective in the IT project as well. Case 1. Coach K does not criticize players during the game. Case 2. Error should be expected. What you should do after determines the outcome of the game. Case 3. The most important thing that a little league coach should teach is the fun of playing baseball. Case 4. A little league coach is a great job.
