Perhaps your teams are large because you assume they need to be large?
There's the classic example of the State of Minnesota and the State of
Florida working on virtually identical projects, Minnesota assumed they
could do it with a small team (5 people?) and succeeded within a year,
Florida assumed they needed a big team (100+ ??) and still didn't deliver
after several years. The Standish Group has written this up somewhere if
I'm not mistaken.
having relocated to the Sunshine state for the past 3 years (including the last elections in which I have no idea for whom I voted or even if my vote was counted) I don't know if comparing Florida's management of anything with anyone else's management of anything proves anything. :-)There's the classic example of the State of Minnesota and the State of
