PM Files – Punchlist for a “483” IV
I’ve gotten out my special green estimating pen, and I’m having a go at estimating the rush Atypical Batch Reporting project. I have a prior project estimate with the same Client to go by, and a Functional Requirement Specification from the Client arrives in the inbox, and I’m feeling better.
PM Files – Punchlist for a “483” III
I was under the gun to do a fixed price estimate for a poorly-defined system in one week.
I wasn’t completely in the dark, though. I had the set of paper forms used in the existing process. I had the current set of reports. I had the cost models from prior successful projects for this Client. So I started with the cost model.
PM Files – Punchlist for a “483” II
The Pharma client called with an urgent project need. We set up a meeting to review the situation. At the meeting, it became clear that they needed a replacement for the paper-based tracking system that had become a target of an FDA review.
PM Files – Punchlist for a “483”
One day the phone rang at the Office. It was my favorite type of call: an existing client with a new problem.
The lady on the phone was a Manager at a very large pharmaceutical manufacturing facility. They had a big problem; a “483”.
Adware Deathmatch – The Final Chapter
I’m looking at the screen on my spouse’s laptop, at the blank IE window that just popped up. The malicious Adware code is vainly trying to load components that I have erased off the Drive. It is badly damaged, with most if its code stripped away. It is trapped, with access to its adware site restricted. But it is still running.
Malicious, Infectious Code; every last piece of you is going into the bit bucket.
