Abstract

In this chapter:

  • Challenges of delivering a business implementation according to plan

  • How implementation choices and plan execution can negatively affect quality, cost and service capabilities of a proposed system

  • Why time to market constraints and changing demands introduce unexpected risk

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

—Confucius, Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher
