A Heavy Lift

Construction contractors and many other trades love to see scope changes and project expansion. Project expansion and scope changes increase revenue and often increase the size of a team. Sometimes the need for more done at a faster rate comes introduces risk to a project. Using modern software development techniques whereby the team work in 2-4 week sprints, we often see issues long before we must deal with them. How does one solve problems that remain at the horizon? I argue that a mature team works towards the unknown together acknowledging the squishy-bits. We should stand together, client and developer, embracing the challenges – studying them.
