“Projects too often get too big to succeed.”

“…the secret to project success is to strongly recommend and enforce limits on size and complexity.”

“It is critical to break down large projects into a sequence of smaller ones, prioritized on direct business value, and install stable, full-time, cross-functional teams that execute these projects following a disciplined agile and optimization approach. Organizations that have adopted this approach have seen major project improvement and their project investments have increased.”
