Requirements management

[original PM]

on a similar topic we have one who seems to think that if someone gives you a timescale or a budget to do something then they should arbitrarily take a few digits of and then present that as the timescale or budget.

Had to take her to one side yesterday and explain that the ability to subtract one number from another with no understanding of where the numbers come from does not consitute good management and it was therefore quite apparent that she was in her elevated postion because she sucks cock (it was a rumour I had heard...)

she turned red mumbled something and ran off.


anyone know of any potential postions for a PM/Analyst in the Northwest of England??

What about doggy style? Perfect for an analist.

Is this another Suity disaster waiting to happen?

Oh Dear™

It's funny, I re-read the thread and I have been perfectly clear about all points, yet some on here have completely got the wrong end of the stick.

It is a generic process.
The previous BA could not go into any detail as they messed him about and he could not wait to leave.
The previous BA warned me that they are all unmanageable and the project was doomed.
I have been messed about.
I have delivered what I was contracted to.
They movers and shakers don't understand what I have delivered as they were all on holiday during the workshops.
As what has been delivered is contracturally sound, anything else is a change request. This is where they are kicking up a fuss.
They are in breach of contract for not delivering the development environment, or indeed attending the workshops.

It is THEY who are at fault. Not the consultancy. And least not me.

The one thing missing in the contributions to this thread is any real content pointing out WHAT I did wrong (other than get missold a contract) and WHAT others would have done differently to get a better outcome.

No doubt Messrs Churchill, MarillionFan et al would have flown out to Mauritus/Barbados/France etc to conduct the workshops with the offending absentees while they were on holiday.

I'm not sure about my fellow learned Cukker Mr Churchill but the reason I'm sat on my ass & bored this week is that I have completed my project on time, to budget and with extra functionality and client is now presenting their new system to their worldwide teams and receiving many plaudits. I'm here for support in case.

Feck me I'm bored, why can't it go down.

Anyone worth his salt would have done that, surely?

We seem to have hit a nerve. Could MF and Churchill keep going as I've not seen a good flounce recently.

Taking 6 months to knock up a spreadsheet with a couple of macros is nothing to brag about.

Don;t put yourself down.

May that uni-cycle fit snuggly and require surgery to remove it.
