Well I've been spending the last couple of weeks working on a system for a contract being provided by large consultancy to a government agency and I have never seen such wastage, amateurish, pah, words fail me, on a project. Each day the goalposts move, no-one has actually worked out a full project plan. None of the teams seemed to have actually sat down together and said what they wanted. Glad I go back to doing the normal stuff on friday, except they need me to come back due to all the screw-ups!

Nah, Friday I have a 1600km drive home, all expenses though as everything has been since last week including the weekend I spent in Sowerby Bridge.Originally posted by AtWDouble your rate then and you can do on Fridays?
As it is I don't have a rate for this customer (not the end customer,) I get paid a monthly retainer, all expenses (and I mean all) and then various sums for system builds, support contracts, etc. Its a pretty good earner along with doing normal sysprog/consultancy contracts at the same time“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Little formal planning can work ok with small or one man projects given competent people. There must be a law somewhere, disaster proportional to number of people involved cubed to the power of 96.bloggoth
