'As the purveyor of everything IT, I am charged with making sure projects do not suffer from the dreaded scope creep. As managers we know the productivity of the resources involved and how to allocate them, sometimes the requirements gathering fails and so does estimating costs and scheduling deliverables. This is often the case with application development.

For many IT admins, business as usual is a juggling act. Job schedulers and scripts run on autopilot, applications and operating systems can’t speak the same language, and other tools—like RPA or MFT solutions—operate in isolation. On a good day, everything runs smoothly. But good days are rare; more often than not, something goes wrong and you’re stuck putting out fires.

For example, this on the management of creativity: Real creativity, the kind that is responsible for breakthrough changes in our society, always violates the rules.
