Truth be told, there’s no wrong way to manage a big software project (except “moving fast and breaking things” – that one has not aged well). Waterfall may seem rigid and old school, but it’s really just another way of saying “plan ahead”. Agile methods are great for flexibility, as long as someone tells the client when to stop giving feedback.

Every once in a while, the story you have been working so hard on will fall apart on you, and you’ll remember that life is impossible, and you were dumb to try, and you’ll never make that mistake again. But sometimes story trouble is the best thing that can happen to you. Because when you rely entirely on your original plan, it’s easy to forget just how complicated and contradictory humans can be. Your mistakes and missteps are here to tell you that, if you can just keep from panicking, your story might follow a path you could never have even imagined.

To Sir Ed, his greatest achievement was not climbing Everest, but helping the people of Nepal.

The Himalayan Trust is an international non-profit humanitarian organisation working in the Everest region of Nepal. We work with local partners to bring quality education, safe water, and better healthcare to communities living in this remote, mountainous region of Nepal.
Sir Edmund and Louise Hillary founded the Himalayan Trust in the 1960s. Ever since then, they’ve inspired New Zealanders to give their time, money and support to help the people of Nepal through the Himalayan Trust.
A large proportion of our funding is raised by generous New Zealanders and we are also thankful for the ongoing support from the New Zealand Aid Programme.
