Are You Late on Your Milestone?

The definition of success is hitting a milestone in a project plan, which was put together at the point of having learned the least. That's absolutely an anti-pattern and organizations are complex adaptive systems. The butterfly flaps its wings and there's a tornado a thousand miles away. We don't know what we don't know. There are unknown unknowns. We can't possibly predict the future. So therefore, a milestone, the origins of which come from the Roman Empire,. They weigh two tons. They are sunk six feet into the ground and they are immovable Is a very bad analogy for change, for unknowable change.
