Reply to: War Room

[conned tractor]

You know a Project Manager's in trouble when he starts calling the room 'War Room'.

We've got one of those here. An A4 sheet with War Room penned on it and stuck to one of the meeting rooms. Wel at least I know they've got another 20 mill in the bank so I'm ok for a bit.

Awkwardly, I was working in Hamburg a few years ago, and they referred to the PP as the "final solution" !

They used to do that when I was in Munich as well. It's quite a common phrase out there.

You know you're really bolloxed when the PM refers to the Project Plan as "Mein Kampf"! :nazi:

Are they implementing SAP?

No, Siebel and ATG and a webbyshoppy thingummy, and all the coding's being done in Bobland.

So was I, which is why I only bought one packet. I also couldn't quite believe the calorie figures printed on the back (of a cylinder!), so much so that I've now forgotten them. The gist of it though was that one 400g 19p packet is almost a day's calories. Tasted okay to me.

So with a tin of value baked beans, you can get all your nutritional needs for about 25p/day? Bargain!

You know the project is over budget when they stop buying proper biscuits for the war room.

The chocolate coated ones are the same price.

I'm skeptical.

When this happens the project manager aint in trouble, the project is ........

What have you not done MF?

Oh the project's been in trouble since its inception, but the PM's being put under pressure by directors to show some 'dynamism'.

I think I can help;

<off topic>19p from Sainsbury's, for a huge packet, white label, but tastes the same as the original. http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/grocery-categories/digestive_biscuits_in_sainsburys.html</>

I worked on a project where they had a War Room, it was where the pizza/food got delivered.
It also had a "Containment Area", sliding partition where the leftover food got dumped over the weekend. Cleaners didn't like us on Monday evening when they came, or anyone who had the room booked on Monday either.

I'll bring in some digestive biscuits tomorrow.
