Replying to LO15797 --

Antony said,

"I heard that the new CIO of a large multinational set a new standard for
his Group - no project was to be planned to last more than 12 months and
no project was to involve a team greater than 50 people.

What had he learned to make him impose these rules?"

This is a very good point, Antony. The priorities of the world change so
fast that even if we have long term projects we need to constantly
re-evaluate the next steps. We use a methodology similar to the one you
described, and it has made a gret difference in our ability to keep the IT
organization aligned with the current needs of the business.
