Project Management For Programmers?

welshdave asks: "I'm a senior web developer in a medium sized company where the project managers have no programming experience of any sort. I'm of the opinion that project managers should understand the projects that they're managing and want to move into project management myself. I'm aware that I may meet resistance from the current project managers - many of them have been hired with no previous experience of anything. Previous suggestions to senior management that myself and other developers would feel better with a technical person running projects have been dismissed. As a result we are routinely told to skip testing or to implement the impossible, with an emphasis on how things look rather than how well things actually work. Has anyone else found the barrier to project management is their technical knowledge. How did you get past it?"

    For one thing, you still let muslims roam free in your country, when you should have rounded them up and put them in camps before the first shard of glass from the WTC hit the ground.

    And NOW you're pussy footing around with not executing the mentally retarded! What the HELL are you doing? Clearly, mental retards are MORE of a threat to society than normal people. So if anything, they should be the FIRST into the chair.

    How many good and decent men will die because retards are allowed to roam the streets, guns in hand?

    America. To solve your problems you need to take affirmative action. Round up muslims and the mentally retarded. (You'll find them to be a shared demographic) Lock them away and then fake some 'breakout' attempts that thin the herd.
