Don’t you wonder why product development projects are so insane? Chaotic? Consider this, a lot of team mates are thriving in the chaos, and aren’t about to change!
\nIt’s based on our wonderful human nature to be “Not my fault.” We are so afraid to screw up, especially technical men, that we will do weird things to not be discovered “At fault”.
\nOur society is based on being “right” all the time, so we protect ourselves from fault. These protection themes\/schemes appear in various forms: “Well, I’ll have to study the design again, shouldn’t take more than, say, 5 years, er, 5 days, yeah, that’s it, 5 days.” (Analysis paralysis.) Or “IF we can just get this feature in before the next revision, the customer will be really happy.” (Who cares about scope creep?) Or “We’ll have to get QA to review that protocol before we can modify it.” (That will slow ’em down, God, those project management turds are in such a hurry!). OR “You know, you can’t schedule creativity.” (Go away and leave me alone.)
\nWe had a saying in development projects, “It’s time to shoot the engineeer”, because there always seemed to come a time when we had to stop the chaos, or as they called it, ‘free thinking to solve problems’.
\nThese statements are based on a deeper, more personal human issue of accountability. “IF the design never gets finished, then it can’t fail.” Maybe it’s even deeper and more common than that, maybe it’s just the old ‘fear of failure’ thing, AGAIN!
\nAnyway, which ever it is, be a leader that hopes and prays for failures, so we can all learn something! Make it known that you expect failures, or development people aren’t doing their job!<\/p>\n\n\n
