    I've just been ordered to create a start to finish timeline for a project that just went into beta testing. Miraculously, I'll be meeting all the deadlines on this project. No sweat.

    Wow! Retrospective planning! Are you in possession of time travel equipment now? Or about to wake up and realize it's all a dream? :laugh:

      Are you kidding? Every developer knows that when a product goes into Beta is when users start requesting (demanding) features and UI changes :)

        Yes, well the timeline for the planning/development/testing of the application is now 3 days. I've left 18 months for beta testing. :-D

          I'm going to put "develop timeline" at the 9 month point in the project plan. I'll fly in Dr. Who to explain it to the staff.

              You realize there are two problems with that approach: 1) He will as usual be followed by a flotilla of Daleks, Cybermen, Yeti and Aliens-strangely-reminiscent-of-Earth-animals-that-just-happen-to-have-two-legs-and-two-arms which will do considerable civic damage before defeated by a rubber band and a sonic screwdriver. 2) He will also be followed by DD, whose well-known capacity will do even worse damage to civc alcohol supplies... :laugh:

                Generally we keep things civil in The Lounge. There is no reason to get nasty. ;P

                    Bloody hell, I get a demand for a timeline after the initial 5 minute discussion, then get told it will take n# months.

                    Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH
