good one :)

Good one, if I remember I too saw the same one years back in SAD classes ; )

Funny but true!

Everyone in my office has been cracking up all morning thanks to this! Does anybody have any good spots to pick up more of this type of humor?

very good comic :) So true :)

That's a classic - it's been around for decades and still rings true!

great!

Have you been spying on our company meetings?

i wish people in our company would listen to ideas

What? No seatbelt? OSHA will never approve it. :)

It's funny ... but the old one I have from Bell was particularly tuned to the reality that Operations will do their damnest to make anything work. Your "How the Project leader understood it" is what the engineers (or programmers) build, and your "How the Analyst designed it" is what Operations installed.

Come on, you have to admit that Operations will try to make it (sorta) work, right? ;-)

This was true for my entire career in the Royal Navy and will still be relevant for years to come!

Can you tell me where I can buy the blueprints for one of these wonderful things?

Beautiful. We need to superimpose the end user in the "How the Analyst designed it" and "How the Programmer wrote it" frames.

And how about a frame for "How Senior Management changed the Analyst's design". That could involve placing stocks (i.e. a device consisting of a heavy timber frame with holes for confining the ankles and wrists) on the swing.

Sounds like ALL government sponsored IT projects!!!

This is fairly old. It was originally drawn up with a construction motif....How the architect designed it, etc.....

Ya.........

Ard core never dies.

I Love greg

I love Ben

Hey, Omendata, how did you know that. Now we have to shoot you! I guess we'll have to shoot everyone who read that too. I guess I'll have to start up a project to waste that many people. Let's see, how will I describe this to the project manager...

Yah, some things don't change

It is universal - I first saw a predescessor of this version posted on a wall in a batch terminal room(think punch cards...IBM 360/370) about 1972, in the Waterloo University computer building. It was funny and true then. Communications between (even more) specialists seems to have gotten even more complicated over the years.

I love goats!

Typical IT Project :-)...

Hahahaha.....I saw an awesome cartoon in a publication of a Goa-based business communications company called "Information Matters".l It was apt fro my workplace, so I wanted to dig up some more like it...I googled my needs...and landed up here - to find EXACTLY the same cartoon!
:-)
Does anybody know a source for more witty depictions of work processes in the software industry...like this one?
