Death March
My Project is going through the Death March phase and I don’t seem to care. What’s a Death March you say?
Death march projects are becoming increasingly common in the software industry. The symptoms are obvious: The project schedule, budget, and staff are about half of what is necessary for completion. The planned feature set is unrealistic. People are working 14 hours a day, six or seven days a week, and stress is taking its toll. The project has a high risk of failure, yet management is blind to the situation. Why do these irrational projects happen, and what, other than pure idiocy, leads people to get involved in them?
