... And Worst Practices
Don’t …
- use schedule compression to justify use of new technology
- advocate the use of “silver bullet” approaches
- expect to recover from substantial slippage w-out scope reduction
- put items outside of project control on the critical path
- expect large improvements over observed past performance
- conduct critical tasks w-out sufficient expertise
- believe that formal reviews provide an accurate picture
- specify implementation technology in the RFP
- bury all the complexity in the software
