"Lately, after 30 years in the programming business, I've finally managed to cut down my projects to a reasonable size."
... long before those thirty years, someone who thinks he is a great manager may take over the steering wheel (he or she). And things are ready to start from the beginning.
Im my group, we have another flavour of not finishing things: managing by whatever is in front of the managers mind and declare it highest priority. This is the best way to work hard all the time and get nothing done at all.
Well, we all read peopleware a long time ago, all except of the managers.
Anybody here, who has a good idea how to handle these traps?
