Software projects know they have a problem. Solutions abound. But which solutions work? What are the most fundamental underlying principles we can observe in successful projects? This paper presents ten powerful principles, many of which are not widely taught or appreciated. They are based on ideas of quantification, measurement and feedback. Our maturity level with respect to ‘numbers’ is known to be poor. Hopefully, as we move to higher maturity levels, we will also begin to appreciate numeric expression of idea and the power of measurement.
