So this is the latest breathtaking display of incompetence.
The system we are about to develop has a sharepoint front end. The sharepoint resource was taken back to India for cost reasons, but before he could gather any requirements. Or to be more accurate, he made various excuses about not being able to do any requirements gathering as the dev environment was not ready. True in some small part as he would have needed to do some RnD before making promises that may not be easy to keep on a fixed price project.
So if he had done the possible requirements gathering he would have around 85% of the requirements agreed and signed off by now.
So now he is working off shore, he sent an email asking me to run his requirements workshops for him as I am on shore. Copying in the whole world obviously.
I'm not a sharepoint expert, so am in no position to do this. The PM asked him to back off and just run his own workshops as this is what he was hired to do.
THEN .....
An email goes out to the customer from the off shore guy with an attached spreadsheet for the customer to fill out. A simple 3 column matrix of user role, mandatory fields and non mandatory fields.
So he has sloped the shoulders yet again and asked the customer to design their own dashboards.
This guy is useless, and just exposed that to ClientCo.
