UCSC Extension did an onsite class in\u00a0Creative Thinking at\u00a0Cisco last month.\u00a0 I thought you might resonate with the results.\u00a0 And yes, I do know that some of them don’t strictly follow haiku rules!<\/p>\n
Cisco project team<\/p>\n
Talented, Creative people<\/p>\n
As always, Snafu<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Project done, boss says<\/p>\n
That is exactly what I asked for<\/p>\n
But not what I want<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cisco Project yeah!<\/p>\n
We work together all day<\/p>\n
And every night too<\/p>\n
On Critical path<\/p>\n
Really who are we kidding<\/p>\n
It’s going to slip<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Quality is prime<\/p>\n
That is what the managers say<\/p>\n
Time to market reigns<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Let’s all get it done!<\/p>\n
There is way too much to do<\/p>\n
Don’t forget to play<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The projects started<\/p>\n
We are behind as always<\/p>\n
Look for my next job<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Deadlines fall like leaves<\/p>\n
Autumn projects dark and gray<\/p>\n
Winter release date<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Projects are no fun<\/p>\n
When they are doomed from the start<\/p>\n
Still boss says work hard<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Project not funded<\/p>\n
Resources not assigned yet<\/p>\n
Delivery was yesterday<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now I’m a PM<\/p>\n
Reduce the schedule by ten<\/p>\n
No cap’s on the end<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Schedule is a mess<\/p>\n
We have to clean it up fast<\/p>\n
Else we’ll miss deadline<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
We are the best team<\/p>\n
But have missed all the milestones<\/p>\n
Here goes our bonus<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
First concept commit<\/p>\n
Then execution commit<\/p>\n
When do we write code?<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Think of something good<\/p>\n
Do it right the first time<\/p>\n
Enjoy it forever<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The schedule is set,<\/p>\n
Including some buffer time.<\/p>\n
Saturdays, Sundays.<\/p>\n
