The solutions presented great. The made sense. They smelled good. They made great leadership stories. ...but none of it actually mattered to the customer.

- fuzztester 3y agoYeah! Reminds me of a project life cycle cartoon I first saw in a software book early in my career. Just now searched for "systems analysis tyre cartoon" and selected this page, which seems the best, on a brief look, since it has both some history and multiple versions of the cartoon: https://www.businessballs.com/amusement-stress-relief/tree-swing-cartoon-pictures-early-versions/ https://www.businessballs.com/amusement-stress-relief/tree-s...
- thih9 3y agoThere are more modern versions too, with additional panels, like: https://pmac-agpc.ca/sites/default/files/Tree.jpg https://pmac-agpc.ca/sites/default/files/Tree.jpg I especially like “how the customer was billed”.
- fuzztester 3y agoMy link actually includes yours and many more, even non-computer ones.
- thih9 3y agoWhere exactly? I’m not seeing it; I’m on mobile if that matters.
- fuzztester 3y agoMobile here too. You have to scroll down. Edit: Sorry, I was wrong. Must have mixed them up.
- thih9 3y agoNo problem, thanks for checking.

- acters 3y agoI like number 7, the documentation one, which really goes to show how little the real item is understood while everyone else is creating/imagining their own version. Dissociation within the whole team.
- fuzztester 3y agoNice one, I mean, nice seven. ;-) Also, after reading your comment, I went back and looked at all the panels. I now see a Zen-like quality of nothingness in 5, 7 and 10.
