Is it right to raise the bar?

There is an argument that if you can jump High Hurdles then you can jump Low Hurdles. But it isn’t necessarily true if you can jump Low Hurdles then you can jump High Hurdles. So logically you’d train for High Hurdles and be able to do both?

Not true!

That’s like saying if you can run 26.2 miles you can obviously also run 100meters, but you won’t find any marathon runners squaring up against Usain Bolt!

Over-capitalising, gold-plating or over-engineering solutions is more likely to cause failure than safeguard success: The demise of Saab motor company is probably a good example.

Likewise “… the enemy of a good project is the dream of a perfect project…” or my personal view on Project Management: 100% done is better than 70% perfect.
