Boring work related problem

I went to the big boss. I explained what trouble the project is in, the bad habits in the design practices (Ie fag packet design approach) and asked if I was here to sort it out, or just bodge and run.

He was clear in that I was an expensive resource, and they were paying the money for the benefit of my experience. He is going to advise the PM of this.

PM will now love me I'm sure. Had to be done IMHO.

As a PM I need to know the technical score, that's why I get to know the techies as well as their managers/team leads. If the PM is worth his salt then he will want to know what the real situation is so that he can hold a meeting like I described.

You wanna back orf a little here. Sometimes a bodge is the right answer. The dev might hate it, the PM might be out of a job, but for the business, it might be right.

Occasionally a bodge is called for, but that's got to be an informed decision with the benefits, risks and drawbacks clearly laid out to the customer, discussed, agreed and signed off, that's why I seek the advice of my tech staff even in areas where I have plenty of technical expertise myself.

A project lacking proper management will always fail in the absence of sheer dumb luck.
