I PUT TOGETHER A PLAN FOR OUR DATA CENTER PROJECT.

WE DON'T NEED A PLAN. WE'RE AN AGILE COMPANY.

IT'S BETTER TO MOVE FAST AND FIX OUR MISTAKES AS WE GO.

YOU'RE THINKING OF SOFTWARE, WHERE THE COST OF MISTAKES IS LOW. THIS IS A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

THAT DATA CENTER WILL BE FULL OF SOFTWARE, WILL IT NOT?

YES, BUT...

DON'T BE AFRAID OF CHANGE.

WHAT IF I RAPIDLY MAKE A PLAN AND TELL YOU I DIDN'T?

IS THAT AGILE ENOUGH FOR YOU?

I'LL NEED TO GOOGLE THAT.
