Ok, waaaaaait a minute.
Why didn't the project start with an effort to plan the documentation, and
estimate resources based on agreed-upon statements of quality and scope, and
get sign-off on the plan? On a huge project that's failed twice before, I'd
say it's time for someone to step up. This stinks of lousy project
management.
Take the compliment, by all means -- but make sure you don't respond by
complimenting your boss on his project management skills! <g> Seriously, the
more appropriate response might be to propose and implement a project
planning methodology.
Sinserely,
Brian the Bitter.
