      2. DAVID ALLEN
         1. project as anything taking two or more actions
            1. big effects with small tweaks in strategic locations
            2. "minimax"
      3. DRAGON DREAMING (GEN)
         1. project as any planned design to achieve specific results within given time
            1. focus on specific results?
            2. re-working of old techniques
            3. phase of celebration
