In this episode of The Ungrowth Show, we take an unexpected detour into the construction world to draw surprising parallels between one of the largest urban infrastructure projects in U.S. history—Boston’s Big Dig—and your next technology implementation. Whether you're planning a major system overhaul, migrating to new platforms, or modernizing your IT infrastructure, the lessons learned from this $22 billion megaproject could save you time, money, and frustration.
What You’ll Learn:
How Boston’s Big Dig mirrors the challenges of large-scale technology deployments.
The importance of managing scope creep and sunk cost fallacy in IT projects.
Why early communication, change management, and continuous integration are crucial.
Best practices for maintaining business operations while deploying new systems.
The value of focusing on an MVP (Minimal Viable Product) to avoid costly delays and frustration.
Key Takeaways:
Large projects can easily spiral out of control without careful planning and stakeholder management.
Balancing short-term wins (MVP) with long-term goals is essential to ensure user adoption and future-proofing.
Just like construction, technology projects require ongoing adjustments, continuous testing, and strategic vendor selection to succeed.
