This was a quick drawing of some of the developers walking a high-wire. The net below the developers has a number of key posts to help support the net to catch and support the developers walking the high-wire. Some of the posts are things like: handbooks, maintenance, project management, budgeting, billing, communications, payouts, sign-offs, admin, requirements, recording project details, contracts, etc. The concept was, if you are doing something that is high risk, you need to have a number of safety pieces in place to help catch you as you fall, fail, and/or play the game. Good stuff.
