How Projects Really Work

[Last updated: 24-Jan-2020]

The idea and images are from the now dead Project Cartoon pages (arranged slightly differently). However, a few images appear in this short YouTube animation. The page is also available in PDF format for printing on A3-sized paper.

What the Customer asked for	How the Customer explained it	How the Project Leader understood it	How the Analyst designed it
How the Programmer wrote it	How the Beta Testers received it	How the Business Consultant described it	How the Project was documented
How Operations installed it	How the Customer was billed for it	How it was Supported	How Marketing advertised it
When it was Delivered	What the Customer really wanted	What the Digg Effect can do	The Disaster Recovery Plan
The Open Source version	How it Performed under load	How Patches were applied
