Bigger Projects Require Bigger Methodologies - - Alistair Cockburn

14

“If only a few drivers cross a large parking lot at night, when there are no other cars, it doesn't matter where they drive. The few drivers can arrange to avoid each other. As the number of cars moving through the parking lot increases, eventually it does matter. With increasing number of drivers, it becomes more important that they establish and follow conventions about parking, driving lanes, and stop signs”

- Wayne Stevens
