A start-up is a company designed to grow fast. Very often, this growth is attained at the expense of organised project management. Whilst this does help achieve initial results, this technical debt will inevitably lead to a slowdown as the company continues to grow. Software that was once ideal for a small team of 5-10 people is no longer sufficient for 20, and resources have to be spent on implementing a new software solution to cater for the needs of the growing business. The costs associated with high end software solutions at the start of a business can at times be hard to justify.
