IT is a Story

"Someone":?We want some solutions. Possibly, we need it to address headaches.

Untold: Actually, we have no idea of the problem, just checking on

"Sales":?Oh yes, we are experts in solving such problems. In fact, we are global leaders in dealing with headaches. Let me show a few case studies, we worked on 70 million headaches in last 3 years.

Untold: Actually, we have no idea what we are talking about. We are hearing it for the first time. We are battery-powered JOBOTS and say Yes to whatever comes our way. We keep finding such opportunities

Sometime later...

"Sales":?By the way, Can you give us some detail requirements?

Untold: Actually, we are just trying to make some sense and wish to divert you before you catch us on what we said earlier out of excitement

"Someone":?Well, let me bring all stakeholders in a meeting to discuss the detail

Untold: Actually, we know, we have to pay and need buy-in from others to justify the expenses decided by many souls around

"The meeting" happens and they ask for a fairy, who can fly around someone's head and produce ache on-demand, flash some lights and the headache goes away... leaving the head jumping with joy.

"Sales":??We just delivered 500 such fairies yesterday. We are clear, what you want. Mind blowing idea!

Untold: Actually, Now, we know how to sell and run away as soon as we can

Now, ""Sales"" write 2-line notes to the "Delivery"...

Dear Friends: We have an excellent opportunity with a Fortune 34 Someone with 400 billion revenue. They want headache on-demand. Nothing new, the requirement is same as we did last month, so, we can complete it in 2 weeks 7 hours 52 seconds as promised to "Someone". Just one small thing to add is a fairy who can fly. We are confident that you will do an extraordinary job as always!

"Delivery" wonders....?

When did we deliver headache on-demand and why someone would want this? How do we know the real requirement as the message seems crazy. Moreover, how can we deliver in 2 weeks 7 hours 52 seconds? We would not even know the requirements in 2 weeks.....

And then "Sales"-"Delivery" fight continues for about 2 weeks....

Then a "LEADER" gets "pushed" to deliver everything in remaining 7 hours 52 seconds..... And, IT is all done.?

Go to the wood and bring me back

One: the cow as white as milk

Two: the cape as red as blood

Three: the hair as yellow as corn

Four: the slipper as pure as gold...

Remember, IT is a story :)
