Reaching There

In a project sometimes the planning becomes too complicated leading to a blurry picture of the end result and a disenchanted team. To make it simple....it sucks, it sucks like a wet dry wax (I would never forget this quote from Mr. Mark Ruffalo). It really sucks! A whole lot of projects have failed in the past - one of the primary reasons is growing complexity. Or is it growing complexity or lack of efforts to increase simplicity? Are simplicity and complexity correlated or as a physicist would say the two properties are inversely proportional. I too have been guilty of making things too complicated....really...duh!
