Scrum in ancient Rome | An exercise in herding cats

I found a number of quotes from a popular writer and favourite of Julius Caesar :- Publilius Syrus

Here are some of his maxims:

On agility in planning:

“It is a bad plan that cannot be altered.”

On commitments:

“Never promise more than you can perform. “

On quality:

“Nothing can be done at once hastily and prudently“

On multi-tasking:

“To do two things at once is to do neither “

2000 years later and the old Maxims are still relevant.
