Re: It's long overdue.
Some excellent rules that still apply today from a favorite company of mine:
The number of people having any connection with the project must be restricted in an almost vicious manner. Use a small number of good people (10 percent to 25 percent compared to the so-called normal systems).
There must be a minimum number of reports required, but important work must be recorded thoroughly.
Don't duplicate so much inspection
Access by outsiders to the project and its personnel must be strictly controlled by appropriate security measures.
