    Oyvetsky, M. (2020). Blind Spots: Teams Must Fill in the Blanks when M&As Have Missing Information. PM Network, 34(1), 64.
    Even in an era of merger and acquisition (M&A) mania, teams continue to encounter surprises when they help organizations join forces. It happened to me this year when a company seeking a detailed one-year roadmap for the IT merger and migration hit a roadblock: The organization it was acquiring couldn't share details of its IT infrastructure until the merger was formally approved. When access to technical information is limited, it puts a great deal of pressure on M&A project teams, as there is little time to plan for all technical projects and merger activities.
