Don't Just Do Something... Sit There!
That aphorism goes a long way towards explaining the problems with our current project at work. Schedule slips, lack of communication, and midstream course changes have all boiled down to people feeling the pressure to do something instead of think things through.
It boggles my mind that a project to engineer a technical solution is being completed with so little focus on documentation and process. An outsider might (correctly) conclude that the majority of the work is being performed by operations people, instead of engineering people.
