Light bulb moment

The story of the Vasa Swedish warship (a cautionary tale for managers if there ever was one) gave me a greater appreciation of what it takes to make a project succeed: the right team, excellent communication, decision-making with imperfect information, and a clear definition of done with change controls in place. Without these, consider your project ‘sunk’ (literally, in the case of the Vasa).
