I took a month to interview 4 teams.
I put in front-end work, just like I knew
I would, and once the winner sent 6 schemes,
I took no time selecting Version 2.
I spent a morning with all plans in hand,
and laid down magazines as story poles.
I squinted, measured, scrutinized and scanned;
and choosing, I relinquished the controls.
Experience and logic guided me.
I’ve learned to eat big projects bite by bite.
Selecting honest experts is the key,
describing, and avoiding any tight
restraint – it’s working now like in the past:
the pace feels inexorable, and fast.
