- DanielBMarkham 17y agoSounds like a two-decade job, my friend. I'm writing a book on the method -- as soon as I figure out how to stretch one sentence into 400 pages.
- mixmax 17y agoI know a management consultant that has a surefire method of stretching a sentence into a book. He is also good at stretching the truth. I believe he helped Tim Ferris out with the four hour workweek
- req2 17y agoAre you saying the book should be called the eight day workmonth?
- DanielBMarkham 17y agoSounds like a cool book. I'll have to read it after I finish the 2-hour manager.
- woadwarrior01 17y agoI once knew a project manager who took 2 pages I'd scribbled while explaining him the possible architecture of some odd project, and came up with a 150 page SRS
- Periodic 17y agoI think you want the unit I always round up to: sitting-in-your-source-code-folder-unviewed-for-a-year-with-all-intentions-of-finishing-it-though-really-just-avoiding-it-because-you-know-it-is-way-too-large-to-really-finish-to-the-degree-of-polish-you-initially-envisioned. Really the point is to keep yourself honest and realize that things tend to take a lot longer than you'd expect. Also, if you are scoping a project out in terms of years you probably want to break it down into smaller features and implement them one-by-one.
