Shovels or Bulldozers?
January 12, 2006
Here's a quick thought for the day... Give 40 people each a shovel and you'll move quite a lot of dirt. Give a few of them a bulldozer and you'll find those people get exponentially more work accomplished, but a project built that way will end up with certain parts moving much faster than others. What if you gave all 40 people a bulldozer? Lots more work could get done (potentially). Or, you might argue, why do you need 40 people when fewer people can complete the job using the more powerful equipment? Exactly.
