Small Project Getting Out of Hand!
It is painful to acknowledge a small project getting out of hand. I have made this mistake a few times. I underestimated the grief a small little project can cause. The lesson learnt is to manage a small project respectfully and develop a light methodology to manage...
Should you have one system or multiple integrated systems?
