The Circle of Life
Programmer to Module Leader:
"This is not possible. **Impossible**. It will involve design change
and no body in our team knows the design of the system. And above that
nobody in our company knows the language in which this software has
been written. So even if somebody wants to work on it, they can't. If
you ask my personal opinion the company should never take these type of
projects."
Module Leader to Project Manager:
"This project will involve design change. Currently we don't have
people who have experience in this type of work. Also the language is
unknown so we will have to arrange for some training if we take this
project. In my personal opinion, we should avoid taking this project."
Project Manager to 1st Level Manager:
"This project involves design change in the system and we don't have
much experience in that area. Also not many people are trained in this
area. In my personal opinion we can take the project but we should ask
for some more time."
1st Level Manager to 2nd Level Manager:
"This project involves design re-engineering. We have some people who
have worked in this area and some who know the language. So they can
train other people. In my personal opinion we should take this project
but with caution."
2nd Level Manager to CEO:
"This project will show the industry our capabilities in remodeling the
design of a complete system. We have all the necessary skills and
people to execute this project successfully. Some people have already
given in-house training in this area to other people. In my personal
opinion we should not let this project go by under any circumstance."
CEO to Client:
"These are the type of projects in which our company specialize. We
have executed many project of the same nature for many big clients.
Trust me when I say that you are in the safest hand in the Industry. In
my personal opinion we can execute this project successfully and that
too well with in the given time frame."
