The things on the left are talked about. The things on the right are measured. What gets measured gets managed and becomes the focus. Is anybody measuring the things on the left?

This is so true. I have never made this connection before. Even “working software” is far more subjective than “comprehensive documentation”.

But despite believing they are critical to the success of a project, I have no idea how to measure the things on the left, other than intuitively.

This is probably why I suck at working in big corporates.
