Ah the joys of customers having unrealistic expectations. A short snippet of an extended conversation today.
PM: We have to get this done in the next sprint
Dev team: That’s not technically feasible. We need a minimum of 4-5 just for development.
PM: That’s not acceptable to Customer. We have to get it done sooner than that.
Dev team: Unfortunately that’s the soonest we can get it done.
PM: Customer will leave over this if we can’t get it done sooner.
Dev team: Well…it’s still not feasible to do it any faster.
This went on for at least an hour.
The best part is this functionality the customer is demanding has a very real chance of taking down the entire system when they start using it as intended and the powers that be still didn’t tell them to eff off.
Off to Colorado today. Staying for nearly a week. Would love to RE somewhere in the mountains; just have to convince my SO. And also potentially revise my FI # much higher if we leave MCOL…
Fun! Where are you planning to visit in Colorado?
Denver ‘burbs. Going to a wedding in the Golden area. I’ve been there a few times before but I want to check out the Spyderco outlet during my free time.
Golden is a great area. Super close to the mountains, yet still all the benefits of living in the city. I hope you have a great time!
Good morning! Figured I’d keep this going today. Want to make sure there’s something for folks to jump in to as Reddit continues to drive people away.
Yep, I guess we’ll see by the end of the month how many jump ship due to this change, but I’m sure it won’t be the end of decisions that turn off at least some of the user base
