I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Classic project management quote.

Ive always heard that one from a Project Management perspective. Ive used it myself once or twice actually!
Nine women can average one baby per month, but only with an extra nine months of pre-planning.
