It is interesting to read perspectives from a past era to understand how we got to today’s status quo.
In my career I’ve encountered a lot of projects that have been designed to death; They start with good intentions to do things “right” and then hire a lot of people who do a lot of designs and documents and meetings and committees. Two years later, nothing is done because everyone is too busy designing and re-designing.
At the core of it all is the idea that if you’re not following all of these formal techniques and processes then you can’t possibly deliver anything good.
