Reply to: England versus Bob - cricket thread

Looks like Bob has failed to deliver and the in-house team had to pick it up and put it to bed.

After calling in Andersons.

On-shore team much more reliable and delivery focussed

Let's hope they are not affected by blue sky thinking and don't drop the ball in the next project.

Job was completed well before the deadline date.





(that was a feckin' hammering)

Much wickets and met all targets by leaps and bounds. Next project please.

EDIT : Come to think of it, the Duckworth-Lewis system used in cricket is effectively a non-linear burndown chart - used to calculate the state of play part way through an innings.

That's only used to wrap up small projects. In these big test projects, as long as you work all the contracted hours you don't have to deliver a tangible result.

Plenty runs, much cheapness

Ooo, I can feel a day off coming on...

[MarillionFan]

Looks like the delivery of this project is going to go right down to the last day. Hopefully deployment tomorrow and full user acceptance.

Aye, and that is the problem with it. The burndown chart will generally spike upwards shortly into the sprint.

An ambitious target for delivery has been set by the product owners. And having lost an available resource early on, their burn down chart is looking ominous.

Looks like the requirements will be finalised pretty shortly

The Bobs don't usually have test teams
