Give Me Some Slack: Part 2

by Robert N. Charette

"Slack represents operational capability sacrificed in the interests of long-term (organizational) health." So writes Cutter Consortium Senior Consultant and Cutter Business Technology Council Fellow Tom DeMarco in his most recent book, Slack: Getting Past Burnout, Busy Work, and the Myth of Total Efficiency (Broadway Books, 2001). In this Executive Update, we continue our look at the issues related to slack, project management, and organizational survival drawn upon data from Cutter Consortium's surveys.
