Abstract

Over the years I have had the opportunity to work in and with different organizations on a variety of management science projects. Most have worked out and some have not. Every one has been a learning experience. I have accumulated some of the rules of thumb that I and other use to carry off projects. You have seen many of these rules before. Still, they bear repeating since they are constantly violated. A detailed overview of the 17 rules follows.
