In the bowling game, Kingpin is the pin at the centre of the triangle of bowling pins and the player hit that pin precisely, it will make the Kingpin and the rest of the pin falls done and get maximum score!

In the project management, there is also a Kingpin whereby as a project manager it crucial to find him/her and use it as a Kingpin. By having Kingpin, the project manager will have better project management.

The Kingpin exists in all level, be it managerial and non-managerial. Obviously in managerial, the ultimate Kingpin is the Project Director or maybe even CEO or CTO or CIO whoever in the highest ranking in the project structure.

The challenge is to find the kingpin in non-managerial level such as project leader, tester, developer, etc. It takes several iterations to find the real kingpin just like in bowling, it requires several strikes to hit it and once it is hit the rest will fall.

Simple hint to find the Kingpin: observe, test few times with real case, find, and use it.
