Here's some quotes from Damon Hancock, Samsung Australia, speaking about the challenge of big infrastructure at PGCS 2018
- Pick your partner well. Bad partners bring bad fortune.
- Some uncomfortable conversations today will save much pain later.
- Context drives behaviour.
- Inadequate planning rarely succeeds in the presence of uncertainty. Planning mandates making estimates.
- The room is smarter than the smartest guy in the room.
- If we can't agree with the client what the real cost is, we're going to have a problem.
Any success, in any domain, in any context, without good planning and the estimation that comes with good planning resides only in our dreams.
