Deadlines and Duct Tape Released
On March 20th. 2008, the press release for my new book “Deadlines and Duct Tape” went out. The book reflected years of observation of the Information Technology business and the continuing disconnect between business management and IT management. Both are trying to do their very best job, but often fail to produce quality work. The people are good, but the process needs help.
It is interesting, but most IT professionals know exactly what is meant by a duct tape solution. They even chuckle when they hear the name of the book. They know what the book is about due to their personal experiences. It is these personal experiences that this blog is about. Its purpose is to annonomously expose others duct tape solutions so we can all laugh at how it was done and be saddend by the impact on the company stuck with it.
Please share your experiences. Possibly, you may help someone else avoid the same fate. I will share my experiences of the past as well.
