Start Small


Posted by Scott Whitlock In Best, MES, Standards

I am constantly reminded that with risky projects, new ventures, or unknown territory that it is smart to start small and build on successes - especially when there are technical challenges.

With MES projects, there are so many factors.  I walked into our conference room yesterday and saw our guys working on a quote for a customer.  The list of risks they were talking over filled on whole white board.

We keep getting taught this lesson, but we need to start small, get something working very solidly, and then move on from there.  This approach lessons the risk for our customers and our team.
