Overview

The humble cup of tea. A tried and tested tradition. And we all know the correct way to make one. …Okay there’s some argument about whether it’s milk first or last, but for the most part, we all agree you boil the kettle, pour water on some leaves, and enjoy. But if you mess up the order, like mixing the leaves with the milk then boiling it, you’ll end up with a gross mess.

Much like making a cup of tea, projects need to be handled in a certain order. Yes, there are different methodologies you can use, but they all follow the same life cycle, and understanding it is the key to success.
