    I don't know any way to succeed with a single software project with 100 people. If you know a way, I would love to learn it. :-)

    If you don't know a good way to do it, I'd personally downsize the project to 10 people. I don't know if you have any better chance of succeeding, but at least you'll fail cheaper.
