00:00.000 --> 00:05.000
And the manager tells me. Come on guys let's join that new project

1
00:05.000 --> 00:07.500
quickly, no need to spend time on that old trading app anymore

2
00:07.500 --> 00:10.500
this will be the biggest innovation we've ever done in this company

3
00:11.000 --> 00:16.000
they gathered every developer they could, put them together and guess what

4
00:17.500 --> 00:21.500
they forgot to hire anybody to gather and document requirements

5
00:21.500 --> 00:24.000
would you believe that?

6
00:29.500 --> 00:31.000
would you believe that?

7
00:31.000 --> 00:34.500
They got like 50 technical people and not even a single person responsible for requirements

8
00:38.000 --> 00:40.000
would you believe that?

9
00:41.000 --> 00:47.640
In the end devs were spending more time gathering any docs they could find in the internal network

10
00:47.640 --> 00:50.750
to at least slightly understand what needs to be done

11
00:50.750 --> 00:56.000
than they were spending writing real code. And when they raised that issue they were called idiots

12
00:58.000 --> 01:00.000
they were told there are already requirements

13
01:00.000 --> 01:01.500
they need to make a working app

14
01:04.200 --> 01:07.000
management said it's probably cause they are not pushing designers enough

15
01:07.000 --> 01:08.500
but these folks also have no clue how the app should work

16
01:13.000 --> 01:14.500
would you believe that?

17
01:14.500 --> 01:16.500
they've ignored every

18
01:16.500 --> 01:20.000
single result of real user testing research

19
01:21.000 --> 01:27.000
we are like Steve Jobs, we know better what user needs are

20
01:34.000 --> 01:35.500
the guy responsible for this project

21
01:35.500 --> 01:40.700
has already messed up a few key projects... looks like he'll have another one for his collection.

22
01:41.000 --> 01:44.000
But now, seriously how it started

23
01:44.000 --> 01:47.000
They had everything technically described in the huge diagram

24
01:47.000 --> 01:49.000
but in the end it turned out...

25
01:50.000 --> 01:53.000
even the author had no clue what needs to be done

26
01:54.750 --> 01:56.000
they came up with the diagram

27
01:56.000 --> 01:58.000
like they would planning a moon mission

28
01:58.000 --> 02:02.500
there were included all technical trends of the last 5 years to make somebody look smart

29
02:05.000 --> 02:07.000
would you believe that?

30
02:10.000 --> 02:11.000
and CTO..

31
02:11.000 --> 02:13.000
..and CTO..

32
02:15.000 --> 02:17.000
was so impressed that even promoted that guy

33
02:17.000 --> 02:20.750
despite him being a sociopath

34
02:21.000 --> 02:28.000
All the people who contributed their two cents over the past years were overlooked

35
02:29.000 --> 02:30.000
or fired?

36
02:30.000 --> 02:32.800
or fired, that's true

37
02:36.900 --> 02:39.800
we call it Corporate Gratitude Derivatives

38
02:40.000 --> 02:42.750
with good appreciation ROI

39
02:50.750 --> 02:55.000
That's not what I expected that when joining that project

40
02:56.689 --> 02:58.189
would you join this project again?

41
02:58.189 --> 03:04.000
Of course!

42
03:04.000 --> 03:09.000
I never say no to good fireworks

43
03:09.000 --> 03:11.500
oh and I missed to tell you one thing

44
03:16.689 --> 03:20.000
the release is next month

45
03:23.900 --> 03:26.500
and they still believe it's going to happen

46
03:31.000 --> 03:36.500
oh these fireworks are going to be epic
