Letter V: Never confuse a clear View with a short distance – Paul Saffo

This is the aphorism I use to describe IT projects. We know the outcome, the budget and the timeline. Yet, in IT there is a chronic inability to reliability meets these criteria.

IT Projects and the Wise CxO
For IT projects expect to pay 3/4 more, expect to wait twice a long, and expect to get only 2/3 of what you asked for.

But wait there’s more!
If the project does something non-standard then ensure you have provisioned Y-o-Y maintenance costs in the business case.
