I've been on Enterprise teams, and right now I'm on a quasi-enterprise deal. It's a single guy doing it -- me -- but I must serve as BA, DBA, PM, coder, tester, documenter -- and I'm pulling it all off only by the dint of my experience.
When I heard the particulars of this enterprise, I gulped and felt sorry for the Obamacare team. As much as I hated the concept, I felt sorry for the poor fools that got sucked into it.
Laz, I was just discussing what will happen with my CPA brother. As he said, any new team always causes more problems because their goals are to:
1) make money
2) not take any blame.
I’m a mech E. who ended up programming. I used to call it the “Oy Vey” moment, when consultants are brought in on any project.
Oy Vey, I can’t believe how stupid these idiots were who started this project. Consultants GET PAID to say that. Heck, I’ve said that as a consultant.
now you and I know that there are always some number of rat hairs in the soup. Some are idiot errors, and some were forced by the budget/time/events. The problem for any fixit team is they have no idea what the legitimate kludges were and what is idiot gigo.
This will be fun, the Obamacare Fixit will be one huge CF, to use an engineering term..
