> ***Andrew Stellman and Jennifer Greene at PMI Mass Bay,
> Sep 20--Boston, MA
> Head First PMP authors Andrew Stellman and Jennifer Greene talk through
> the ways that software projects fail, using the signature humor and
> insight in the acclaimed "Head First" series. There's an old saying:
> "There's only one way to succeed, but a million ways to fail." But that
> saying just isn't true when it comes to software projects. As it turns
> out, there are a small number of ways that projects fail, and they'll
> sound eerily familiar to any project manager, software engineer or
> programmer who's been around for more than a few years. Many software
> projects that started out as a small, stopgap utility turn into raging
> behemoths, sucking seemingly unlimited time from your programmers. Or
> the president of your company announced that your project will be done
> this week, even though you know that it still has an enormous number of
> bugs. Or your team delivered the software, only to have users complain
> that an entire feature is missing. Or every time the team fixes a bug,
> they seem to uncover a dozen more—including ones that you know were
> fixed six months ago. Once you know how projects fail, you can do what
> you need to do to keep them on track.

> situation where you have to shoot Raw and thank goodness for the
> Highlight and Shadow recovery sliders in Aperture. I have lots of tricks
> for dealing with bad lighting (find shade whenever possible, fill flash,
> reflectors, etc.), but as you know, sometimes clients say, "We don't
> have time to walk over there; let's just take the shot here." Horror.
> "Not here!" I think. "This is the last place on the planet I want to
