The Top 10 things Lewis & Clark learned about XXXP and AAAP eXtreme eXploration eXpedition Projects Aggressive American Agile Projects
#10: Have a Sponsor • It helps if it’s the President. • Corollary: The Sponsor ALWAYS underestimates resource requirements and costs; • Originally TJ proposed 10-12 men and $2500 • Final costs were 33+ men and $38,722 • Corollary #2: The project goals are ALWAYS impossible. There is no western waterway from Saint Louis to the Pacific.
#9: Pair Paddling • Lewis AND Clark • 3 is OK
#8: Iterative Development • Major waypoint at Fort Mandan. • Pacific Ocean was only the halfway point.
#7: Co-location • Other than an occasional scouting trip, the team spent every living moment together. • Even when they outsourced some of this to the Indians, the Indians were co-located.
#5: Simple Design • Follow the river
#4: Responding to Change over Following a Plan • Oh s#!%, a mountain
#3: Hire a Consultant/Coach • Where would they have been without Sakakawea?
