Bossavit's Formulation and Corrolary
Thursday, November 11, 2004

I missed seeing Laurent at AYE, and I know I'm not the only one. Laurent blessed the blogosphere with this excellent nugget a couple days ago...

Bossavit's Formulation: If you want to double your failure rate, all you have to do is halve your project length.

Bossavit's Corollary: If you want to increase your success rate, halve your project length.

(Laurent, let me know if I misattributed either of these...)
