A statement made when a team leader is faced with exhausted funding of one of the projects being worked on - Thinking Out Loud.Donald Noyes.20141027
Conversation: (this really did happen)
Project W, X, Y, and Z Manager: We have run out of money on Project X, it needs to be done, but you can't charge any more of your time to the Project X Account
Team Leader who is lead on Project W, X and Z: (as he logs-out of project X) What do want us to work on now? (Project W, or Project Z, or some other new project)
The points made in this post:
To illustrate to those who have never encountered something similar, that others have.
To illustrate Real Life situations encountered, hidden agendas and all that, when a team leader is cheesed off.
That sometimes managers who run out of money, instead of getting more money for continuing a work, try to get it done by utilizing resources not paid for by the project receiving the benefits of work done.
That jobs are terminated or fail, when adequate resources and management are not applied.
To illustrate that resourceless projects may only be done when resources are made available, or are not withdrawn.
