  • Another thing to keep in mind is that pretty much all the C levels spend the majority of their time doing in person stuff with other high level narcissists where they have to focus on body language to avoid being the victim of interface politics and they don’t understand that most other people have positions that require long periods of focus on individual tasks.

    Any time they say that people want to be in the office or that interpersonal communication only works in person they are projecting. They just have the ability to force it on everyone else.




  • not allowing Department of Transportation officials to view the model’s source code

    That is the problem. Using proprietary software that can’t even be reviewed outside of blackbox testing in the government’s contract process lets terrible software companies who won lowest bidder contracts is a recipe for disaster.

    All government contracts should include the ability to review the code if they don’t just require it to be open source. The company can do a lot of business supporting their software without needing to keep it secret, and if secrecy from the government is vital to their business plan then they should stay out of the public sector.











  • A project manager should never be a stakeholder. A project manager should be managing expectations and pushing back against scope creep and ridiculous demands for immediate results as part of managing the project based on available resources and the estimates of the project team compared to overall progress. They will also address situations where different interacting parts need to be timed correctly, but that would also be the same responsibility of a scrum master, because they manage the project when using agile terms.

    Most places treat project managers as neutered middle men who are implementing the will of the stakeholders, which is why so many end up being the terrible type that you are stereotyping project managers to be. Those same organizations will do the same thing to the scrum master or whatever name they give to the person who is supposed to be managing the project. You know, a project manager.
