00:00 - 00:03 | Jim sent us an urgent email this morning... |
00:04 - 00:05 | He's saying more requirements were |
00:05 - 00:07 | reported from the German Infinite team members... |
00:08 - 00:12 | If these requirements are to be believed... |
00:12 - 00:15 | it will drive up our project scope by 1,500 hours. |
00:17 - 00:19 | It's not a big deal.... |
00:19 - 00:21 | we'll just remove more items like we always have. |
00:24 - 00:26 | My Fuhrer..... |
00:27 - 00:28 | Development... |
00:31 - 00:33 | Everything is at max capacity and nothing can be moved.. |
00:34 - 00:36 | Our backlog is already 30 items over scope |
00:53 - 00:58 | All leave except: Kipel, Yodel, Kreps, and Porter |
01:13 - 01:15 | HOW ARE THERE MORE REQUIREMENTS!!? |
01:15 - 01:17 | Always! More of these REQUIREMENTS! |
01:18 - 01:23 | Even after spending 1000s of hours with Development and Infinite, there are still more of these things...!!! |
01:25 - 01:28 | I told Sven last week.. I KNEW there would be more.. |
01:29 - 01:31 | TO HELL WITH THIS PROJECT!! |
01:31 - 01:34 | Every email I open from Jim... |
01:34 - 01:37 | There's some new thing we have to account for!! |
01:37 - 01:40 | I see now why it's called "Infinite".. their requirements never end!! |
01:40 - 01:42 | But it will make us a lot of money sir!! |
01:42 - 01:46 | YOU FOOL!! IT WILL BE 2037 BEFORE WE CAPTURE ALL OF THEIR REQUIREMENTS!! |
01:46 - 01:48 | We can demand more of Development, sir.. |
01:48 - 01:52 | Development worked a 27 hour day last Sunday you idiot!! |
01:53 - 01:54 | We're ruined!! |
01:56 - 01:57 | We were told when this project started.. |
01:57 - 02:00 | that it would just be your "run of the mill" benefits.. |
02:00 - 02:03 | Instead we have a project scope that exceeds the McDonald's implementation |
02:04 - 02:08 | We went red a month ago because they said they found more requirements.. |
02:08 - 02:13 | So we had two whole weeks of meetings with Infinite to account for all of these gaps |
02:14 - 02:16 | I HARDLY had time to go to the bathroom for that two weeks... |
02:17 - 02:21 | Not even a day later.. Jim sends me another email - MORE REQUIREMENTS!!! |
02:27 - 02:29 | What's the point anymore..? |
02:30 - 02:34 | I'm now living on Zantac and Pepto |
02:34 - 02:36 | Doctor says "Infinite induced ulcers"... |
02:41 - 02:42 | Screw it! |
02:43 - 02:47 | We'll just have everyone log on to their system, slap our business name on it and call it a day...! |
02:48 - 02:53 | At least then we can have a functional product by Spring of 2025... |
02:54 - 02:56 | Even then it probably won't even matter.. |
02:56 - 02:59 | We'll just end up finding more requirements for that process.. |
03:00 - 03:02 | and expand our project scope by another 25,000 hours! |
03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry... we'll still get it launched in time.. |
03:14 - 03:16 | Who am I kidding? |
03:19 - 03:23 | We'll just invest in more resources... |
03:25 - 03:26 | Like always.. |
03:31 - 03:33 | It's over now... |
03:40 - 03:46 | Jim will send 50 more emails outlining requirements that only an astronaut would invent... |
03:46 - 03:49 | that they'll want us to build... |
03:53 - 03:56 | Add the scope. |
