The process focus would then give guidelines to the people responsible for doing this
work on how to do it.
Why not focus on the people? Puhleeeeez! Whenever anything goes wrong on a
project, isn??™t it the first, visceral reaction to blame the people doing the work? Well,
that??™s highly motivating (not!). I don??™t want you to think that people are not important
??”they are the most important part of any project or any work undertaken.
But, not everyone can be as brilliant as everyone needs to be everyday. It??™s not like
we wake up one day out of 365 days and say, ???Yesterday I was just OK. Today I will
be brilliant.??? Focusing on process puts the emphasis on having good processes to
follow, not on hiring only brilliant people. Rather than having people work harder,
have them work smarter. That??™s what process does for you.
Why not focus on technology? Have you ever heard the saying, garbage in
garbage out? Well, that??™s what just plastering new technology onto an old problem
does for you. We have been paid big bucks for converting existing systems from one
language or database to another.
