Intelligent Design

Full Title or Meme

Design limited by the capability of humans' intelligence and imagination.

Problems

• Humans aren't nearly so smart or inventive as they think they are.
• Project managers often require a detailed design before they will start the project. This is understandable, and a good strategy, but the tactics of implementing the strategy cannot be so rigid or the result will be unsatisfactory, even to the designer.

Solutions

• While it is fine to do one's best to create a good design at the start of a project, do not be beguiled into thinking it will not need to change as the project proceeds.
