My idea of fun would be getting drunk and hurling arguments about Agile at the people who love it. In my many years PM-ing and my experience with many development fads - (Xtreme Programming, anyone?) I have learned there is no silver bullet. Exception scenarios, especially in complex, Enterprise software apps where they are endless, are not going to write themselves. Write ‘em on a note card or in a document, but they have to get written.

Oh my. It seems you’ve touched a nerve. I’ll have to stop commenting before I get too crazy. Let’s talk about outsourcing development next! Oh, please!

Maternity benefits in Canada are much better than in the US. Perhaps the CPM might consider relocating to the Great White North if more children are in the future.
