    Millipedes don't fall in cracks

    Have you ever watched a millipede go about its business?

    They’re interesting creatures. If you have, maybe you’ve observed one navigate a crack in the floor, or other such gap.

    It’s interesting: the first few legs will step into air, but all the many others won’t: they won’t even try to walk there.

    Save for the first one, two pairs, they’ll just keep their legs raised until they know each individual pair to be on terra firma again.

    … why do we always seem to make the same mistakes with running our projects?

    Maybe we could take a page from whatever book the millipedes have been reading.
