Are you outing yourself doing a bad job? :P

My big take away from being given a management job on a sinking ship IT transformation was: You've got to kill and eat your pets. If the IT transformation really is that important than a lack of success should be an existential threat to the business and everyone doing it. Maybe this means that big projects never happen, and maybe that'd be a good thing. But where I work, we just did 7 years to have the last 2 be a death march where everything delivered was under cooked.

I feel like the lack of a real embrace of a burning deck is what did it.

I'd try and win success with a 'too good to pass on' bonus that's paid 2 years after delivery. But I know in this Agile world, getting a set of agreed on requirements is just impossible.

So I'm back to championing roadmaps and small projects with small teams.
