Organization and Human Factors

I have never seen a software project in which the limiting factor was the speed with which programmers could type.

I was recently reminded of the minimal set of project management artifacts and activities that are, in one way or another, simply indispensable.

None of this is news: all of this has been well established for at least 25 years (a quarter-century!), so I was surprised that apparently it is still not common knowledge or practice — at least not as common as one would wish for.
