Be Naked; Get Screwed

One of project managers in one of my previous organizations, when is particulary angry or upset on disturbed deadlines used to comment this way. The underlying content is that "
If at all there is a resource constraint or a technical implementation hiccup, come out with the issue upfront instead of lamenting at the 23rd hour. There is no use trying to impress the client with a dream-product; for which there is a problem in accomplishing the delivery in a cleaner and elegant way. In those cases, it would be a wiser route to discuss upfront so that necessary backup adjustments and contingency plans can be setup."Vasudevan Deepak Kumar Personal Homepage

A pessimist sees only the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides, and shrugs; an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all - he's walking on them. --Leonard Louis Levinson -

Nope. I've read it through a few times and it still makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I'm assuming that the PM was Indian, and that something subtle has been lost in the translation into English such as any sense or intelligence. The only thing that I can come up with from this is "Shit happens. Get over it."

I worked a place years ago that had an entry in their Requirements Template under I think "non functional requirements" that said something like "Document all unknown Problems" :laugh:

On quite similar lines there is a joke regarding 'Attendance Calls' in tour or other presentation/seminars whereby the organizers read out the names and the person in the audience confirms that he is present. That way, the number of attendees are checked. People used to joke 'Those who are absent, raise your hands'. :-D

Only if they weren't original or couldn't think of a more interesting line.
