With many projects there is a stage where I find I must take the manager to lunch and try to convince him or her that mess is exactly what he is looking for, a sign that the project is really working. Chaos theory can sometimes be a tool--it provides what one of my teachers used to call a "theory base" for what is happening.<BR>
