Have you ever seen people brainstorm ideas to solve problems but have their solution fail miserably? Their heart and intentions are in the right place, but due to a number of forces, the solution is not effective and typically misses important factors that can make it a good working solution.
Is it enough to derive a solution if the solution does not work in the context of the organization, application or project? A 15-step change control process (e.g., solution) that includes full impact analysis, estimation, and traceability is appropriate for a mature organization, but is it appropriate for an immature organization that has never experienced change control?
