Two types of projects...

Manufacturing

Managing these requires a different approach

Functionality is known,Time and resources

can be predicted

Do we know this is the right design?

Do we know this is the right design?Do we know how to get the required performance?

Do we know this is the right design?Do we know how to get the required performance?Do we know all our platforms work as expected?

Do we know this is the right design?Do we know how to get the required performance?Do we know all our platforms work as expected?Do we really know what the end-user wants?

?How do you achieve highest...

Work on limited numberof features at a time...

Whenever you run out of time or money,
