WHY WAS THIS PRODUCT SO DELAYED?

Normally not something that is part of a manual, but let’s be honest, this was the most delayed project we

ever managed. The delay was caused by underestimating the complexity. That caused the project to fall

behind the schedule.

Now fast forward a year (keep in mind these are projects that normally span 30 months) and we noticed that

what we considered state-of-the-art at the beginning was outdated and surpassed by many of our favorite

competitors. So, you start to make plans to catch up, throw out stuff that is old and make new and better

things. For example, the exterior of the aircraft was almost completely redone. But now you are not only

developing but also catching up and that is devastating to any major project. All the time pressure is building

and the project gets a bad reputation with management and customers. Not really the conditions that make a

project flourish.

There were times we thought it was better to drop the whole thing and take our loss. It was the kindness of

potential customers, who whacked trolls on the forum and told us to keep on working, that saved the project.

They have no idea how important they were at certain crucial moments.

In the end, it is the project manager who is responsible. Nobody else. So, blame the author (MK) of this text

and nobody else.
