Practice question · Select all that apply
Why do multidisciplinary projects fail at the interfaces rather than in the making? Select every statement that is true of interfaces.
Hints
- Three describe why interfaces are dangerous; one claims they get the most attention.
- Ask which part of a project actually gets rehearsed.
Show the answer
- B. They are usually nobody's explicit responsibility
- C. They are the points where one person's output has to become another person's input
- D. Their number grows faster than the number of people involved
Why
The fourth is the opposite of what happens. Everyone rehearses their own contribution and nobody rehearses the handover, which is why the failure is always a file format, a mount, a power supply or a permission, the places where two rehearsed pieces of work meet for the first time on installation day.
