Ive worked as a planner for over 20 odd years, firstly in shipbuilding, then Nuclear, and for over 12 years have been in IT. I totally blame the manmagement in IT as they are usually a bunch of softies. I d really, one day just love to meet a decent manager in an IT project. Not once have a I managed to deliver a project to time and budget. (is it my fault?~)_I once spent 6 weeks in a hotel conf room, pulling together a magnificent plan. On the first day it was released, I approached people for an update , youve guessed it, they were working on something else...aahhhh
