2005-05-16 - 1:27 p.m. How to kill a project that should have worked. Put someone in charge with no timeline. Then switch to someone else when they don't deliver. Split the work between 6 different people but keep back 1 or 2 crucial functions ensuring that 1 person will have to go back into all 6 other people's work. Realize that's impossible and email fixes to the 6 so that they can implement them. Within a day mail a whole other set ensuring everyone will have to edit every single item at least twice. Send a general testing message with no schedule. Two days later send an annoyed message asking why no one has finished testing. Discover 2 or 3 more major items. Have 1 person fix them randomly, then email everyone for them to fix them. Suddenly rush around to try and fix problems that have been sitting for a week waiting for attention. End testing suddenly before finishing anything and implement immediately. Don't bother to tell the help desk workers anything (including who will solve problems).
