And history is a goldmine for learning about risks and how to avoid them. By looking back at past projects and initiatives, project managers can spot potential landmines and build better contingency plans to reduce uncertainty.

So, project managers should keep things simple and streamlined, focusing on the essentials and avoiding unnecessary complexity. This can help reduce the risk of failure and uncertainty associated with overly complicated systems and processes.

By using established project management methodologies and practices, project managers can reduce the risk of failure and uncertainty and increase the likelihood of success.

This is commonly known as the Lindsy Principle, named after Fred Lindsy, an innovative American businessman. The idea behind the principle is that it is more effective and economical to use existing solutions whenever possible than to start afresh with new solutions. The project manager should take into account the resources available, the technical requirements of the project, and the possible risks of failure when selecting a course of action. Generally speaking, the Lindsy Principle states that if a proven solution is available, use it, instead of devising a custom solution.
