Splendid

Some days are good, and some a just splendid (GF does not tolerate anything less than good). Today was splendid. Starting just after seven, the Gorse Fox had a concerted run at several intractable problems to ensure he was ready for the day's meeting. Whilst solutions are still elusive, the meetings were remarkably smooth as GF was able to provide so much collateral to support his assertions.

His biggest concern at present is a subset of the the project that seems intent on working separately from the rest and have approached their work by throwing a batch of project managers at the problem - but no solutioners, architects, techies or whatever. As a result we are seeing plenty of plans but no actual progress. The Gorse Fox is puzzled at how a troll can produce a project plan, when no techie has actually designed a solution or explained the approach, first. This will be GF's next crusade.

Sounds exactly like a Civil Service project .... What do you mean we need to have some technical know how involved?

Manage everything and hope there are some techies around who can actually do the job.

Strangely, this one is not a Civil Service project.
