”..the rivets were the Achilles’ heel of the Titanic and that the problem was worsened by poor manufacturing; high variability, because of the large number of suppliers; and a rush to complete the ship.” (via nytimes)
Excellent, extremely unfortunate, example of poor project management and severe stress on the triple contraints - resources, quality and time. Let the Titanic be a lesson - projects managed this way are doomed to sink.
