Re: New TECHWR-L Poll Question

[James Barrow <vrfour -at- earthlink -dot- net>]

The 'implemented' part of this question makes it very interesting.  
I've worked on projects where the project manager almost pleaded for 
suggestions to improve a product or process, only to have every one of 
the suggestions shot down due to 'the budget'.  Other project managers 
have come right out and said:  "Look, we can work together as a team, 
but since my butt's on the line if anything goes wrong, let me come up 
with any improvements."

Off the top of my head, I would estimate that 90% of my suggestions, 
although appreciated, were not acted upon due to budget constraints, 
scope of project, manpower, time, etc.

The other 10% were not acted upon at the time I brought them up, but 
later adopted when the stakeholders pulled their heads out of the 
clouds...or other places better left unsaid:^)
