An Alternative Rapid-Development Strategy
The approach to rapid development that I lay out in this book is not the only approach that has ever been known to work. There is a different road that some projects have traveled successfully. That road is characterized by hiring the best possible people, asking for a total commitment to the project, granting them nearly total autonomy, motivating them to an extreme degree, and then seeing that they work 60, 80, or even 100 hours a week until either they or the project are finished. Rapid development with this commitment-based approach is achieved through grit, sweat, and determination.
