Project sex
(Category:
True Stories
)
I had two little projects. They had a lot in common and seemed like they would get along with each other really well. So, I played matchmaker and put them in a meeting room together for a couple of hours.
It's a week later now and I just assisted in the birth of a mega project.
Damn things breed faster than bunnies.

Obviously, the majority of your readership aren't project managers. Your admirable attempt sounds like scope growth to me......arghh! AVOID AVOID
Note to self: Never do this again.
Nope, this was a realignment during discovery. Two separate projects that could be solved with separate but related custom programs or...implementation of a module of the SuperMegaERP system. Since we already own the SMERP system there is much happiness that we now have justification for implementing this module.
Hmm, every time I lock projects up in the meeting room they eventually die of either dehydration or kill each other off. I couldn’t imagine them giving birth to a super mega project.
Oh wait, never mind, its sales reps I keep killing off.
Maybe I’d best go slip some nabs and a diet coke under the door.
Damn. And here I am hoping you hosted some awesome p0rn or something. Work sucks.
