Today I had a short, but interesting discussion with my colleague and ‘architecture professor’ at Nijmegen University: Erik Proper. More or less as a result, he published this excellent blog item about finding the right mix between ‘thinking’  and ‘acting’. Acting too early - out of misplaced pragmatism or just being impatient - is bad and it happens all too much in the IT projects of today. So indeed we need to dedicate the right amount of time to Thinking. On the other hand- and clearly a pitfall for bringing in the Slow Attitude - we have the risk of becoming a victim of Analysis Paralysis.  Important stuff for any project manager involved in IT or business change projects, and I am most happy to point you to it.
