I guess I don't "fit in" with older IT principles.. In the "old days" we used to Plan, test, pilot, implement and support.. These days, the emphasis is on implement once, implement twice, curse the lack of planning, ask "whats scope", forget the objective... then I have to fix it.. Bosses get together, pat themselves on the back.. and I'm back to square one..
Couldn't have summed it up better...
