Non-English Idioms #1

You can not carry frogs in a bucket.

From Dutch.

Particularly applicable to development, marketing and all teams associated with delivery of a large project.

The little blighters will keep jumping out of the plans and deadlines you try and impose (or that they agreed to!) - unless you put a lid on the bucket.

This kind of restriction can also be called timeboxing or tigyhly controlling scope.
