On the failure of large projects
Today while reading the [sigia-l] mailing-list, Donna M. Fritzsche uttered some wise words; I would point to a few specifics: 1. The wrong people making high-level technical architecture decisions (purchasing products before the right research has been done.) 2. Not paying up front to hire the best people for high-level positions. 3. Not allowing your team leaders to put together the teams that they see fit. 4. Underestimating the time it takes too pull off a project of this magnitude (including preliminary testing, beta-testing, etc.) (I dont mean user testing here - but rather technical testing/simulation, user-testing too would be great). Another project management nugget. Permalink (Wed, 19 January 2005 13:00:00 GMT)| Comments (0) | Project management |
