      Politics aside, get the analysis right and there will be fewer bugs and more value added to the end product.
      I think you didn't get my message or the poster, probably because you don't have experience in the area.
      It's very easy to talk when you don't have your precious time running out.

      Be constructive and what would you do?

        Clearly you have no experience in the area.
        What you do is renegotiate the project time lines, should activities fall behind.

        Simples.

          Yes, because you clearly know what I've done.

          Given that I work in business intelligence (one of the more common oxymorons in industry), you can imagine how much we get blamed for things being late, given that we're waiting for systems to be developed before we can integrate them into existing BI solutions or build new ones from them.

          Obviously you struggle with the concept of office politics though.

            We don't know if the poster is the project manager.

            That solution is very easy if you have the budget to do that. That should be the last option and an option to avoid.

            You don't know what you are talking about.

              Absolute nonsense. The project triangle exists for a reason. You're extremely naïve if you think budget solves all.

                Thank you.

                  Wouldn't that make you an agent then?

                    Oh the theory is also very helpful.

                    Don't put words in my month.

                    If the project have long delay and you can't extend the release date it's very easy.

                    Finally, you are ready to give the solution for the case, please be my guest.

                      Point being, you do the risks, costs and benefits analysis of; either continuing with squeezed deadlines, descoping non-priority items, extending timelines.
                      You then make guide the client with making the correct decision on that basis.

                      That's what I'm there for, if the clients knew what they were doing they wouldn't engage a seasoned specialist, like myself, in the first place.
