Well, I can say that the description and some of the comments seem to be universal.<br /><br />What amazes me is that everybody knows that this is how projects happen. Yet, with all the experience...collectively everybody repeats the same mistake. Is this the eternal spirit of 'optimism' over 'realism' ? Or is it that despite everything, everybody is only looking at 'surviving today to die another day'...causing us to limp through and make decisions that ultimately result in the same outcome? Or is it that only less than competent people end up doing projects and project management because the talented folks are just too focussed on content to be able to make a difference?Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04761852896116998392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155770613355202151.post-61630044851921276942009-07-22T13:37:29.428+05:302009-07-22T13:37:29.428+05:30Kamal!A fantastic series of words all together to ...Kamal!A fantastic series of words all together to describe the context and scope of the issue.<br /><br />The blog is quite generic and at the same time also very specific. I can guess the names you tried to putout in a fancy manner<br /><br />The BIG project that is discussed here in the blog reminds me of a very gud scene 4m d movie "Aparichithudu". The scene is between Aprachithudu and a person(who does something wrong to society) goes as,<br /><br />Aparichithudu: Ayidhu paisalu kajeyatam thappa.<br />Other person: kadhu<br /><br />Aparichithudu: Ayiidhu saarlu ayidhu ayidhu paisalu kajeyatam thappa.<br />Other person: Peddha thappem kadhu<br /><br />Aparichithudu: Ayidhu velamandhi ayidhu ayidhu sarlu ayidhu ayidhu paisalu kajeyatam thappa.<br />Other person: Chala peddha thappu.<br /><br />Aparchithudu: Adhey ra ikkada jaruguthondhi.<br /><br />The gist of the scene boils down to, serveral ppl committing petty mistake several times ends up as a MEGA mistake.<br /><br />As i was in the project till the shutdown day, i think many simple mistakes at different level high level management, marketing, developement, project management piled up finally to cause this disaster.<br /><br />And dats wat i guess happened with BIG project.<br /><br />As said, much was expected immediately from new org. which took over the BIG P. They should have known dat, it could end up like a gold duck tale if we expect returns overnite.Thrinath J Chakravarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14567822471852556217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155770613355202151.post-4733164605879570922009-07-21T23:35:34.288+05:302009-07-21T23:35:34.288+05:30Adding more people to project is never going to he...Adding more people to project is never going to help. But somehow a lot of people/companies commit this error. I don't know why? <br /><br />We always bite more than we can chew. In order to keep the client happy we over-promise and then stumble. <br /><br />You are very right about questioning the status quo. A reality check. Many smart people over look this and trusting them is probably not a good idea. <br /><br />Good post and thanks for sharing how you feel about this. I am pretty sure there are a lot of people who really wanted to know as to how you felt.Akbar Pashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291540848827747987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155770613355202151.post-37142748525501722222009-07-21T11:46:14.173+05:302009-07-21T11:46:14.173+05:30How come no one commented on this... yet????How come no one commented on this... yet????snoreply@blogger.com
