Waiting
- “I’m waiting for the requirements specification”.
- “I’m waiting for management approval”.
- “I’m waiting for the customer’s answers to my questions”.
- “I’m waiting for QA appproval”.
- “I’m waiting for management to solidify our strategy.”
- “I’m waiting to get a software (or hardware or systems or test) engineer assigned to the project”.
- “I’m waiting for the finance department to open the charge number.”
Yada, yada, yada. On goes the list of pseudo-legitimate excuses for being late and inefficient in bureaucratic corpocracies. When a system is set up so that everything is tightly coupled and each element is highly dependent on everything else, productivity sinks, end-to-end delay increases, and it takes a miracle to get any value added work done. The funny thing is that the dudes in the bozone layer demand continuously increasing productivity while simultaneously allowing their system to deteriorate into an inflexible and intertwined mess of confusion.

Sometimes people think the more bureaucracy which leads to more control will help a project get done. It is supposed to let them know when the project is in trouble then they can use their skills to get the project back on track.
If a project finished without any problems and on schedule the people involved will get credit but not all the attention. The attention would be devoted to the projects that are in trouble. It might just human nature.
