    Nice point of view, luckily not all announcements are written is this way.

    I had a lot of fun writing that bit. It makes reading press-releases and blogs almost bearable finding this stuff.

    Was the Titanic considered Agile?

    At last, we have found the mystery external consultant who writes all staff communications from our directors!!

    So true... If only people focused on writing interesting and truthful stuff, cutting all the crap... but now I'm dreaming 😉

    So was God overreaching when he first spoke? Today would that read, "To improve the customer experience we are undertaking an expansion of our 'dark mitigation' process."

    Complaints about the usability and reliabilty of the HMS Titanic were responded to with the notice: 'Functions as desgined.' 🙂

    It's easy now to look back and say we would have done different. We can learn from things like the Titanic but unfotunately a lot of those people did not have the opportunity to correct their own mistakes 'cause they died.

    I have had my Titanic moment when I started developing business systems and the first time it ran at the clients' company. A user came to me and told me of a bug in my system and I said: "Impossible! There cannot be a bug in this sytem!" Well, I fell flat on my face and had to apologize. Fortunately my system wasn't a boat that could sink and people lose their lives.
