18. Blame goes two ways

A complex system generally arises from complex business requiremements.

Frequently, I've been in the situation where managers ask if feature "z" can be added, but rarely have I heard anyone ask if it's practical or prudent.

Scope creep kills. When I was the IS guy, (really more of a power user, but we were a small company) if someone asked for something that I couldn't do, they really didn't need it anyway.
