Operation Everything Will Go Well.
“We already planned the first kid’s birth date for 9 months after the wedding”
CEO: Use AI to help and get it done in 3!Hire two additional brides to bring it down from 9 to 3 months, then tell them to use AI to get it down to 1. Meanwhile, the baby was expected yesterday.
sure we can handle that
“If we assign 4 more women to this pregnancy, we can get the birth done 3 months sooner!”
Don’t worry tho I’ve already made a wedding ring out of sticks
MVP baby
we’ll iterate with the client until it fits
So I assume you already got the matching t-shirts?
T-shirts, hats, pens and a commemorative
timeline slide deck!
Now invite random people to help you with wedding.
Next week, we will spend 3 days trying to get the product team to pick out a dress only for them to insist that the one that is way too small “will fit” and that the dev can just “alter it real quick and it will be fine.” Even despite loud protests from the dev team that they cannot alter it and it will not be fine.
Spoiler alert: it wasn’t fine.
I hate how accurate this is.
I got in trouble last time I suggested we should have a research phase and POC before we commit to heard deadlines.
Funnily enough, this is also the framework for those reality TV shows. It’s the move fast and break things approach that seems to be entertaining in a morbid way… So clearly the solution is to monetize your project (mis)management as entertainment!
