Fail fastentered the business lexicon from the high-tech sector.  It has become a powerful buzzword and has ignited a small movement. FailCon offers a series of global conferences for entrepreneurs to study their failures “to prepare for success.” 

Failure is not the goal.Failure abounds.  More than 90% of start-ups fail to meet their financial goals. On average, 30% of software projects are canceled and another 50% fail to meet expectations.

Time: Conserving the Precious Resource

Posted Sun, 2016-09-04 15:36 by Alan Zucker

Time is the dominant constraint on all projects.  There is a constant race against the clock.  Many projects have fixed completion dates determined by external forces. Projects that fall behind schedule, struggle to catch up.  I have never met a project manager who said there was too much time.

"Time is also a unique resource. One cannot rent, hire, buy, or otherwise obtain more time...Time is totally irreplaceable.” –Peter Drucker
