Teruk

Phew.. u guys must be complaining.. dulu updates almost every day... sekarang.. lepak aje...

I'm starting to get to grips with my work.

I run the Enterprise Services Delivery Group, with about 2 project managers working under me, and possibly a 3rd one.. this 3rd one is the CIO of one of the affiliates which had its presence shut down. Ya.. what a challenge, managing this dude. More on that in a later posting.

On the good side of things, one of my managers is an ex-manager from my old firm. So he's quite clued in on the finer art of project manager. My other one, is someone based out of the continent south of a recent earthquake. Yes.. you can see where my troubles begin. This guy, damn keng chow when he talks to you. He's like god's gift when you hear him in action. But once u start drilling down, koyak!

Like his last status update. Niama.. he sent 2 documents.. one in excel with the project milestones, one in word. The excel file had some tasks clearly labelled "delayed". His word document had the team as "On schedule". I'm like.. what the...

Then in the issues section, there was this one classic issue which read "The XXX vendor needs to resolve 2 outstanding issues". I'm like.. hello.. that's not the way to report issues? Where are the 2 bloody issue details?

Then I get this Integration test status report coming out of that place. One slide 2, it showed 8 open defects. On slide 7, it says 16 open defects. And there are no details on how many total scenarios, how many executed, how many pending etc etc...

Shit man.. all these are basic shit...
