While this is all true and good let’s not prevent the main thing from being the main thing. Obamacare is tyrannical! Obama lied - patients dies. Repeat the mantra. “I see Mrs. Jones you are a registered Republican and you have donated to some very questionable Tea Party candidates. I’m afraid we will not be able to get you the medications and procedures you need to fight your - shall we say - catastrophic illness. So sorry. I do have some names of very good funeral parlors. Would you care to have a look?”
Actually that metaphor fits. They are trying to fix bad data while the site remains open to hundreds creating more bad data.
Years ago, the Air Force made a fateful path change to my career....taking me from the intelligence field and putting me more as a manager with IT personnel and contractors....working on intelligence hardware and software.
I came to realize after a year, there is a giant leap in thinking from technical geeks, the intelligence crowd, and the normal managers dragged into project management over such episodes.
Everything mentioned in this article is correct. I’ve had directors who were idiots at establishing simple requirements and sticking with them. I had geeks who needed someone to continually lead them....hand-in-hand...to each phase of the process. I had budget people who routinely freaked on any issue that popped up.
It’s just like Democrats to name their signature legislative achievement (albeit totally illegal), after the raving incompetent they put in charge to implement it.
