Just been shared on a Project Issue Tracker for a new project and the first issue at the top of the tracker is 'Create a project issue tracker' and the issue is closed. :wtf: I think that has got to be the most pointless thing I have ever seen.
They could have delegated it to you...

Well, not necessarily. Starting a new project with the task "create a project issue tracker" is a good idea. Once configured, one wants to feel a sense of accomplishment, so what is the first task/issue to enter? The accomplishment of creating an issue tracker for the project! In other words, been there, done that. :-O Marc

It could have been worse. The first entry could have been something like "come up with cool project name".
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

So where's the crib? Is there a star to follow? Some singing angels? Is this a new religion?
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein -

Its not always completely pointless. If you have a VCS that 'wants' to have a justification for changes like we do, the release letter typically has a place for tracker issue. In our issue tracker system, we have change requests for bug fixes, enhancements and new features. Our VCS release letter template has an issue reference field. The project report system reports on all the release letters in the repository periodically and a null tracker reference shows up on the report as a gratuitous change.

Talladega. They're naming them after speedways in the States at the moment. Could have been worse we recently had projects called Neo, Trinity and Morpheus.
Oh boy. We had a project a while back code-named
Garlits, after "Big Daddy" Don Garlits[^] of drag racing fame. It was fun explaining the project name to our international partners. They were using bird names for a long time: Falcon, Blue Jay, and Osprey. We occasionally had hopes of an Albatross project, but it never came to be. The hardware for our current product is code-named 'Mississippi', after the river. Naturally, we named our software 'Delta', since we get to deal with all the crap at the end.Software Zen:

It makes sense to me. When I have a list of things to do and I do something that's not on my list, I write it on the list then immediately cross it off of the list. So, yeah.

Maybe I am and maybe I'm not. I am however indecisive and paranoid. :-D

It's like it came out of the project management singularity before which we cannot see - was it red shifted? It created itself - my mind is going to explode just trying to figure that out...

In a similar vein, many years ago on about my second day as a junior technician, I made the mistake of using the last page in the departmental requisition book for something other than a new requisition book. Talk about the noob bringing the department to its knees... Cheers, Peter

No. Damnit! I've got to start doing that. Thanks for the tip.
