Projects and project processes

[vetran]

Business decided to do a finance move without a project.

First month End and it was like 3 mile island for panic, oh how we laughed.
Snottograms because they hadn't got access X &Y and full pram expulsion when I sent them the SOX forms to get access.

This was just after doing a warehouse move that was fully IT PM'd that went flawlessly (apart from the warehouse only shipping part of a printer the only IT related thing they had to do without me standing over them). You would have thought they would have learnt.

What you all said.


So long as I'm not on my own I feel slightly happier less miserable about the institutional schizophrenia around me.

Ho Hum!

So we spend about a 2 years working on a decent paperwork light solid project process which has been proved to work.

And then one of the exec's has a brain fart and we have to just do it now with no controls.

Why do these people get employed to do anything but shovel $h!t

It's taken 2 years to come up with a process ?? Take it it's not an agile process...

I try to avoid ads for roles which mention Agile in them. Agility on the other hand...

Lol it was agile ish

we started over 2 years ago and refined the process over successive projects to the point where we had an agreed process which had been proven to work.

You know when a project is in BIG trouble when management announces it's 'going agile' witihn 2 months of launch...

[eek]

Yeah after a particular stooped request which I think was

"If the system fails we want a button we can push which will make it work again"

Don't many systems have that. Its called the power switch...

I am forcing my lot through CR, I need to be abole to publish their request for rainbows and bunny rabbits (eg) to external audit to show just how stoopid they are.

One of our boxes is called PFM: Pure F%&*("* Magic

I use the term "sprinkling fairy dust"
