Hi everyone,
Can you please email me if you are planning on coming to this session on monday the 24th, so that I can order snacks and ensure I have enough handouts? I'll forgive you if you can't make it on the day though. Modesty aside, I think you'll learn lots of useful stuff if you do - including the most useful tool I've ever used.
When you email me - at clarke.ching@gmail.com - can you also tell me:
1) Are you a manager, a non-manager or other/both?
2) Can you tell me something that annoys you about "them", in general. You can send me a few annoyances if you like, or none. A couple of sentences per annoyance should do. I'll collate them offline.
It would help if you write it in the form
- As a developer/analyst/tester/other I find it really annoying when my project manager does this ...
- As a PM I find it really annoying when my staff [doen't] do this ...
e.g. As a project manager I find it annoying when I ask my developers how long a task will take and they ask me "how long is a piece of string?.
e.g. As a developer I find it annoying when my Project Manager doesn't give me enough time to do my job properly.
e.g. As a developer I hate it when my PM prints of code I've written, reads it over the weekend, then gives me corrections - written in read ink - on Monday morning.
It'd be helpful if you tell me if this behaviour happened in an Agile environment or other.
thanks,
Clarke
