Idiots - Way too Political. Controlled by Outside Big ?? Consultants
Idiots - Way too Political. Controlled by Outside Big ?? Consultants
Great initial ideas: original system design and concept.
Too many changes in direction. Only care if delivery schedule is met, not if the software actually works or is reliable.
Focus on the goal, not on checking off boxes, to keep your project status out of the red. Do not allow outside "big engagement managers" to control what you see or do.
