I do something sort of similar. If they want less testing before, I say sure, but each cut before deployment will cost 2-3 weeks after we deploy. It is much harder to test and fix when everyone is yelling that it isn't working.
Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- >Idiots _always_ ask if I "get them all green any faster?" I used to get that. The kick-off meeting was Monday afternoon and they wanted results by Friday. I would counter: "You can have it by Tuesday noon." I would then pause to watch them get all excited, then say, "But it will be crap." They would then stutter: "But we don't want it to crap. We'll wait 'til Friday." I would counter: "It will still be crap, I might as well give it to you on Tuesday." That set the stage for a "how good do you want it" vs. "how long will it take" discussion. I did this over and over and still can't believe it always worked. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
