Business as usual ?

Well... As many of you have noted, "Happy IT" is somewhat lagging behind schedule nowadays...

I cannot explain all the "how and why" of this unfortunate service interruption, but this has a LOT to do with IT Production (the real one).

Nasty people will say that, at least, I found myself a real job...

More news very soon (I hope)

Project Management: Blame it on the other one!

As we discussed last week, Project Management is often a synonym of « deep space tunnel to far away galaxies », where ideas tend to drawn in the warp.

The people behind, the Project Managers, are spread between two contradictory trends: to give the feeling that they work hard, while nothing happens on their project.

Thus comes the next logical step: finding third-party scapegoats to explain why the project is lagging eons behind schedules while everybody is committed, sleeves-up, round the clock, seven days a week.

What’s wonderful with IT Production is that there is ALWAYS a third party to blame. Since you cannot invite everybody in project meetings, you can always shift the burden one somebody who cannot defend himself.

Project Management is a wonderful world, for people who can’t get themselves a real job (like, say, programming or system engineering)…
