IT projects suffer from a similar force to that of the astronomically evasive 'dark matter'. A force that is not so much negative in its manifestation as it is in its effect, especially on other matter. It has an ability to occupy space without contributing anything, interacting with 'light matter' only to drain its energy and restrict its ability to move freely.
'Dark matter', and its ability to absorb and retain energy without contribution, is a universal anomaly for physicists. A puzzle yet to be solved. A question unanswered but not for project managers and team leaders. We know this effect and understand the consequences very well. It is a similar force to the one that will cause your project to fail. It is your greatest adversary. Its invisible. It can be detected but not controlled, without the right tools and level of experience.
