The ½ Project, ½ Consulting Rule

Don't plan a project that's only dev work or only consulting and no product.

In project work, there are two primary ways to derive value and succeed:

  1. The work product itself and
  2. The relationship

Both matter a great deal, and perhaps equally so…

Always make sure that you balance these two things: save time in the project for consulting and managing the customer's changes, expectations, requests, and questions. In this way, be Agile.

In other words, projects are neither Agile, nor waterfall, they have to be both.
