P.E.R.T. was designed by smart people for smart people.

1. It colocates responsibility into time-bounded nodes

2. It offers concurrent redundancy to bypass high-risk teams

3. It may hide the global context from participants engaged in adversarial behavior

4. It decomposes into traditional project planning timelines for presentations

DevOPs/Agile is only good if your firm bills by the hour.

The paradox of cost optimizing labor for a fixed cost infrastructure investment often undermines the stated goal of a timely product launch. It is often not a risk mitigation decision, but rather a lack of respect for professional staff,

Most firms that needed the backbone resurrected almost always had a few overworked and underpaid staff that jumped to a better company before the IT debt came due.

You are probably thinking this is only for small firms, but even >$8B market cap firms fall into the same golden goose egg parable.

The mistake technical people make is assuming they could ever fix these political/structural issues with logic.

Good luck, and a wonderful seasons greetings =)
