Jiri’s Notepad

Reg Braithwaite:

The first thing I’ve learned from failure is that the four things which matter most are:1. The quality of the people doing the development
2. The expected value of the product to its stakeholders
3. The fitness of the proposed solution
4. The quality of project management and expectations communication

In my experience, you need all four working to have a successful project. I’ve personally failed when even one of those four things was bad and not corrected immediately. If two, three, or all four were wrong, my discovery is that I’ve been unable to avert disaster.
