Trying to be all things to all projects in all situations at all levels of complexity results in the needs of no one actually being addressed, and many being massively inconvenienced. What starts as big and complex simply gets worse over time. But there is a different and better way.

"This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time.
