How the Software Industry Works
Programmer to Team Leader: "We CAN NOT do this proposed
project. It will involve a major design change and no one in our
team knows the design of this system. And above that, nobody in
our company knows the language in which this application has been
written. If you ask my personal opinion, the company should never
take these type of projects."
Team Leader to Project Manager: "This project will involve
a design change. Currently, we don't have any staff who has experience
in this type of work. Also, the language is unfamiliar to us,
so we will have to arrange for some training if we take this project.
In my personal opinion, we are not ready to take on a project
of this nature."
Project Manager to 1st Level Manager: "This project involves
a design change in the system and we don't have much experience
in that area. Also, not many people in our company are appropriately
trained for it. In my personal opinion, we would need more time
than usual to complete it."
1st Level Manager to Senior Level Manager: "This project
involves design re-engineering. We have some people who have worked
in this area and others who know the implementation language.
So they can train other people. In my personal opinion we should
take this project, but with caution."
Senior Level Manager to CEO: "This project will demonstrate
to the industry our capabilities in remodeling the design of a
complete legacy 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 staff members. In
my personal opinion, we should not let this project slip by us
under any circumstances."
CEO to Client: "This is the type of project in which our
company specializes. We have executed many projects of the same
nature for many large clients. Trust me when I say that we are
the most competent firm in the industry for doing this kind of
work. It is my personal opinion that we can execute this project
successfully and well within the given time frame."
