Most problems are self imposed and usually can be traced to lack of discipline. The foremost attribute of successful programs is discipline: Discipline to evolve and proclaim realistic cost goals; discipline to forego appealing but nonessential features; discipline to minimize engineering changes; discipline to do thorough failure analysis; discipline to abide by test protocols; and discipline to persevere in the face of problems that will occur in even the best-managed programs - Norm R. Augustine
