Flaming Techies!

[Damon]

They have been ignoring published project plans, giving exaggerated work estimates and been noncommittal on site attendance....we finally get them pinned down to sorting out a problem they knew was likely to happen but they wouldn't explain it in terms the business understood.

Now we are all up tulip creak they won't even help us create a list of issues with the relevant content and expecting me to write them so they can just criticise the irrelevance of the content later and not act on the resolution until we have read their technical minds sufficiently for them to actually help!

Surely you built into the project plan that techies are all autistic and don't communicate?

Well if you will go around setting them on fires it's no wonder they have trouble focussing on the project!

here's the deal:

You buy the team beers and curry after every deadline, and then we comply.
