tanaiseThe schedules I've spent a lot of time on over the last month turn out to be based on faulty information. There may be burninating if they don't decided that my information is actually correct, even if it's not what they'd been planning to being with. We say 6 month lead time for courses (4 for the production, 2 for QA.). I'm willing to stretch it--5 months on paper, possibly more like 4 in reality. But there is no way, ever, I think, that I can have no more than 3 months, including the two months of QA to get a course out, particularly when the course which has all the content it depends on isn't slated to go live for another three months after that.
I told one of the editors that she hadn't invited me to a particular meeting, and she wrote back and said, "Oh. Did you want to be invited to that meeting?"
I was torn. Should I write back and say, "No, no, I just wanted to point it out." or should I say, "Want is perhaps too strong a word to use."
Ultimately I wrote and said, "i"m the project manager. I think it would be good for me to be there." So, you know, they can't do things like come up with dates that they think will work without any input from production. Not that I think they would do that, of course. Because market pressure is the only thing that matters in the world.
