It's even crazier talking to the people involved.
The project got the underlying Blockchain tech from VMware... AND had a requirement for a backup "traditional" RDBMS system.
So, complete feature duplication of the core, mission critical application.
Scope creep was crazy. Someone who doesn't understand the technology went "blockchain yeah sure mate let's go."
Good project managers are so important.
- manquer 4y agoGood PMs would be replaced when they say a firm no in such top down projects
- dopidopHN 4y agoYeah that my thougt as well. That type of things fall from the sky on PM and they have to deal with the new direction. Maybe product director / VP or whatever
- threeseed 4y ago> Good project managers are so important. That's more an issue with Product Management.
- lethal-radio 4y agoIt could also be an issue for Program Management or even Engineering Management. All of those roles can be flexible from company to company, and many companies do not staff every effort with all of those roles.
