For weeks now I have had my doubts about the off shore team. Now that we have a dev environment it really is time for them to start ramping up.
Todays bulltulip excuses include :
We need a formal walkthrough of the requirements.
There may be changes coming we need to factor in.
We need time to learn the tool properly.
Yada yada yada
Couldn't get a frakin word in.
So I raised my voice so I could be heard, and fimly but politely spelt out exactly what I expect, exactly what I was not prepared to accept in terms of excuses and told them to jolly well get on with it.
Worse still, the PM had sat there throughout the call just shaking his head in disbelief rather than actually jumping on the situations as they arose.
I am pleased I took a firm stand as they are now all towing the line.
Then afterwards the PM asked me to "temper" my approach.
Sometimes these things need to be said, and the air cleared. It's a part of life.
Make room on the bench for me I reckon.
