> Programmer to Team Leader:

> "We CAN NOT do this proposed project. It will involve a major design
change
> and no one in our team knows the design of this system. And above that,
> nobody in our company knows the language in which this application has
been
> written. If you ask my personal opinion, the company should never take
> these type of projects."
>
> Team Leader to Project Manager:
>
> "This project will involve a design change. Currently, we don't have any
> staff who has experience in this type of work. Also, the language is
> unfamiliar to us, so we will have to arrange for some training if we take
> this project. In my personal opinion, we are not ready to take on a
project
> of this nature."
>
> Project Manager to 1st Level Manager:
>
> "This project involves a design change in the system and we don't have
much
> experience in that area. Also, not many people in our company are
> appropriately trained for it. In my personal opinion, we would need more
> time than usual to complete it."
>
> 1st Level Manager to Senior Level Manager:
>
> "This project involves design re-engineering. We have some people who have
> worked in this area and others who know the implementation language. So
> they can train other people. In my personal opinion we should take this
> project, but with caution."
>
> Senior Level Manager to CEO:
>
> "This project will demonstrate to the industry our capabilities in
> remodeling the design of a complete legacy system. We have all the
> necessary skills and people to execute this project successfully. Some
> people have already given in house training in this area to other staff
> members. In my personal opinion, we should not let this project slip by us
> under any circumstances."
>
> CEO to Client:
>
> "This is the type of project in which our company specializes. We have
> executed many projects of the same nature for many large clients. Trust me
> when I say that we are the most competent firm in the industry for doing
> this kind of work. It is my personal opinion that we can execute this
> project successfully and well within the given time frame."
