No you dipstick. Other people were effected in this process and everyone lost in the end. That was co workers, families, investors and owners. Why a project fails rarely is who is coding it or in what language. It is usually lost in design and plan of what to do and how to do it. I consider those two directions that have to be parallel but always create a veer away from the other lane. That split causes failure. I have seen it first hand as well as listening to others about their own version of "Death March 20xx" Much like you don't make a house without a set of plans, and then refer back to them as progress is made. -- Stephen Russell Unified Health Services 60 Germantown Court Suite 220 Cordova, TN 38018 Telephone: 888.510.2667 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cajidmyj2fmfchslodkiogaxqoanjbpey1vmncy4sv_4o5gv...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
