““With a monolithic project, late in the game, we can’t even do much to cut costs. We have already written requirements for things we’ll never get. We’ve designed, and even written code for things that we’ll never complete. All that work is wasted. If only we had known the truth. We could have deferred some of that work. We laid out this project with an all-or-nothing mentality. We analyzed it all. We designed it all. We tried to code it all. We discovered, too late, that we can’t have it all.””
