The Fear Factors “Too often, today's project and service organizations are motivated by fear. They fear being out of line with the business. They fear disastrous cancellations and cost and schedule overruns. They fear ignorance of quality and the subsequent delivery of buggy, off-target applications. They fear over commitment, leading to schedule and quality problems. ” - Daniel Stang, Gartner Group, 2005
