When shit hits the fan

Today I attended a meeting to discuss some plans for a project. The people who attended the meeting were consultants, system integrators. The meeting did not go smoothly. There were cynical remarks that progress of the project was awful and work delivered was lacking in substance. This project started early last year and is supposed to go live late this year. Honestly speaking the project team is running out of time and it appears the project team members are singing to a different tune now. Last year, team members (some are stakeholders) were more receptive, less figure pointing. But now as time slips by and deliverables are not met adequately, some team members revert to "it is not my problem, it is yours", "I like to cover my ass", "I am too busy, you handle this piece of crap" mode.


Frankly, I think the project was not managed properly. A lot of time were wasted last year. Seems like a all to familiar sight with projects. That is what happens when shit hits the fan.



See you till the next project status meeting crap-o-rama.
