This stuff scares me. ...

Submitted by Rob Sanheim (not verified) on November 28, 2006 - 5:53am.

This stuff scares me. It just reminds me of MS Project based gantt chart hell from my days in corporate IT development. Over specification of things which all change anyways, and too much micromanagement.

I’ll take a piece of paper, basecamp, and a whiteboard, thanks. When I start seeing color-coded timelines alarms start going off for me…
