Hear that gentle sound,
oh PM-sister?
It is your spec flushing

Oh Cranky, you are
My heroine. But not my
Go-to drug, Caffeine.

Process, what process?
Database comes first
Then bolt UI on

Customers don’t know
What they want, so we tell them
Everyone is happy

CEO sets goal
We struggle to make it there
Whose fault is failure?

One does not listen
One does not communicate
What a perfect team!

Ask them what they need?
Why would a PM do that?
Build what they should want.

Awesome. Let me try one:

Product Manager:
Engineers, executives
Ignore market facts

Another cranky PM — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 21:45:43 +0000

Engineers should not
ever give product demos
users fall asleep

Coder turned PM
Second thoughts, is it too late?
How I miss sandals...
