A key part of the book were the red flag phrases we heard on projects. One of the recent red flags I hear is, "When so-and-so arrives, everything will be much better," or "when such-and-such technology arrives, everything will be better." Magic is coming. Evil will be vanquished. WE won't have to do anything. My advice is to run and hide. A few years ago Roy O’Bryan and I wrote a book about projects and people.
