For some reason, as soon as a budget and a deadline are involved, all of the lessons we&#8217;ve learned over the years and applied successfully to open source projects seem to fly out the window.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;] However, it&#8217;s well known that corporate projects routinely fail to produce quality software. or even any results at all! Many important studies have repeatedly reported that fact, such as the Standish Group&#8217;s annual CHAOS Report (which as recently as 2004 has shown that less than one-third of corporate projects are considered successful).<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;] These principles, if adhered to, will help lead to success on any project, open source or proprietary. These principles are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>* Tell the truth all the time<\/li>\n<li>* Trust the team<\/li>\n<li>* Review everything, test everything<\/li>\n<li>* All developers are created equal<\/li>\n<li>* The fastest way through the project is to do it right<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each of these principles is important, and each of them is routinely ignored in corporate environments&#8211;to the detriment of project success.&#8220;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew Stellman and Jennifer Greene at ONLamp.com &#8211; What Corporate Projects Should Learn from Open Source: &#8222;It is rare to find a corporate environment where the project team has anything approaching the level of planning, documentation, or review found in successful open source projects.
