The guy clearly said he is a developer. While your advice is sound, it is something that only the manager has authority and responsibility to do. It is just impossible it almost any organization that a developer can turn project and project methodologies upside down like suggested here.
> However, in the end, it is also completely ok to walk away, especially if there's no incentive to continue.
- ap22213 13y agoI don't quite agree. I agree it can be difficult. But, if there's sufficient respect between the management and developers, then it's totally possible. The manager wants to succeed, and most are pretty reasonable to ideas, especially when put into a tight spot.
- levosmetalo 13y agoI agree that it's how it should be, but the author of the original question seemed pretty upset exactly because in this particular case it was not like that.
- nmcfarl 13y agoI disagree, and I've seen it done. In my case it was a very small org, with a very hands off manager. He cared about deadlines and deliverables - he didn't care at all about how things got done. Which mean you could change all of this, by winning over the team - and not missing deadlines worse than you were before....
