The last of a string of four mid-project presentations went off at high noon today in the Florence Knoll conference room. The people in attendance weren't really directly involved, but their peripheral buy-in could be critical down the road and there were catered sandwiches to eat.
With the Fourth of July holiday and associated trip to the beach looming over this week like a fun-covered Colossus of Rhoades it has been a little hard to concentrate. It is feeling like maybe we outworked ourselves over the first month of the project because now we're cruising towards implementations and recommendations without doing that much additional work. Say what you want about Paretto analysis and the 80/20 rule, it is really true and I feel like we've gotten over that hump a bit ahead of schedule, allowing for depth (not scope! NOT scope!) creep and more definition in the particular areas we're focusing on.
