This is management porn. Faster, cheaper, better - pick all three and throw in an extra, and you unlock innovation!

Innovation is cultivated independently of project constraints. Design constraints, sure. Avoiding too many chefs in the kitchen, fine. Avoiding bikeshedding, fine. But this is just extrapolating those out.


If there's one thing the Air Force is known for, it's doing things fast and cheap, with restraint and elegance.
