Better software estimation may help you decide whether a project is worth starting, but you can’t estimate the additional cost of delivery due to poor delivery management.

Having a talent team built to react quickly to problems is a better approach IMHO

Comment on Packaged Applications – The Hidden Cost of Snake Oil by Dean

A large enterprise solution can sometimes turn into such inefficiency in the implementation that it hardly seems worth it. That is typical of large projects that are bound to have issues and obstacles. The vendors always talk a good game but it never seems to go as smooth or as efficient as what was in their first power point. That's the price an organization pays for minimizing the bullwhip effect on their supply chain management.

Hmmm, nice rules. My favorite is,Rule#74: Which has a lesson and Threat and Project Manager’s should note it down.

“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”.

Project Manager’s should wellcome estimates from management as that would give him/her a chance to come out with there own estimates and if the estimates are realistic, he should go for it or communicate in advance and get buy in upon his own estimates.
