Re: Pause for thought
Oh you can't beat a Project Approval board for delaying tactics.
You plan a project and work out that it's going to take n months and cost x.
Three iterations of the Project Approval board later, when it finally gets approved, you have n - 3 months to do it in and x - ${large_random_number} to do it with.
You can always spot a good Project Manager. At the drop of a hat he can trot out a perfectly believable and yet entirely fictional set of reasons why his project is over both time and budget, without once mentioning the Project Approval board.....
