  • If you have a troubled project, and you add more people, you have a bigger troubled project.

    It’s a common trap for project managers … and in fact some pretty high brow projects blew up because of this.

    When you are called in front of the board, and they say:

    “Hey, your project is late, we get it, it’s not your fault, but we have to deliver on the 1st of the month. - and so we’re giving you our 10 best men to get it done”

    I can tell you, it takes a certain amount of testicular fortitude to say “That won’t work”. More than I had at the time , in fact.
