Knobheadware – Unproductive projects and teams
Here's a competition for all you IT professionals out there. You've all read Peopleware. You have read Peopleware, haven't you? Right. You've have a small team working on a suite of software. They're doing OK, the team has "gelled", they've fought their corner on deadlines and methods. You've been kept well informed of each step in the project. They have already delivered phase one (of two) on time, within budget and scope, with a more than an acceptable level of quality. They're now within 6 hours of doing the same with phase two. Your challenge, at this late stage in the project, is to totally fuck them up. What do you do? C'mon, let's be creative here, the clock is ticking!
