    Projects and project processes

    Ho Hum!

    So we spend about a 2 years working on a decent paperwork light solid project process which has been proved to work.

    And then one of the exec's has a brain fart and we have to just do it now with no controls.

    Why do these people get employed to do anything but shovel $h!t

    Apperantly we are all about agile and lean.

    We are too big and enjoy a good faff, we are as agile as a hippo after lunch

      Current project is "agile". As that allows the client to skip the design phase of waterfall and throw a changes in at the very last second.

          CRs? its agile as that allows them to avoid creating CRs they just slap changes in and pretend they have always been there!!!!

            and that is exactly how people who do not have a clue what Agile is see it as,

            an excuse to not have proper control and the ability not to have to commit to anything and be able to chuck in last minute changes but keep the same go live date.

            It's magic!

              I am forcing my lot through CR, I need to be abole to publish their request for rainbows and bunny rabbits (eg) to external audit to show just how stoopid they are.

                I know. Its actually far funnier than that but that requires alcohol to cover the full glorious mess.

                    Yeah after a particular stooped request which I think was

                    "If the system fails we want a button we can push which will make it work again"

                    Our developer lost the plot and asked one of the exec's if they wanted f......g Unicorns barfing rainbows to appear when they pressed it as well..

                    Oh how we laughed on the way to the job centre!
