Even if their comments were sincere they wouldn't be the first suit to have a limited understanding of the Pareto principle.
Also if there's a new CEO they are certainly going to want to clear out the cupboards, hence the call to Accenture (doubtless with some significant guidance on what the client expected in the report).
- quickthrower2 4y agoI loled at the % done figure in the article. You eventually realize there are 2 dones: 0 and 100% :-) This is why continual delivery is preferable over a big bang. What could you blockchainify for a million. Then the lesson that blockchain is crap is cheaper.
- urthor 4y agoYou can't really do Orthodox ScrumMaster 2 week, incremental continual delivery for something like this. Where are your small incremental milestones? How do you deliver working software every two weeks? This was just a big, hard, database project. It's not a "textbook" easy to deliver project. You just need smart cookie project managers and Chief Engineers to manage whether you do 1 week milestones or 1 month milestones.
- quickthrower2 4y agoI think 6 weeks is better than 2 maybe, but it should be possible. If what you are doing is very novel those deliveries may be proof or disproof of concepts. The customer being yourself in a way. In 6 weeks it should be possible to deliver “does blockchain make sense”. The question is if the answer is NO does the org have the guts to can it. Someones paycheck might depend on keeping it going.
- siva7 4y agoAre you kidding? If you can't deliver small incremental milestones in your project, then the project is doomed to fail with such project management before start.
