The business should drive IT, but it is altogether too possible for the business to drive IT past what is practical and doable. Then you thrash and get little done while producing much light and heat.
I would push it forward a bit. The BA should have a tech lead or other advanced programmer type to work with when developing the requirements doc. So, during, not after the fact.
I think I would be remiss not to point out that we are not just and only a capitalist society.
Is money the only thing of value to our society? I know it has a high value, but are there not other things we value?
No, I am not arguing that insurance companies should be money losing ventures, but I am saying that *part* of the analysis needs to be the social issues. I think that is why we find ourselves with a society that is part capitalism and part socialist. Because neither, alone, are really very good societies to live in.
I'm 40, about to turn 41, and I dont use the insurance I am paying for. ( All of it, from my own coffers, too ).
Does the insurance company have to make a profit on each person? Or can they just in the aggregate?
Funny thing, my wife is on a special policy because she goes to the doctor when she needs to go. She has had several surgeries, and is on some medications.
The separate policy for me ( required by them, not me ) is almost as expensive as hers. I dont go to the doctors very often at all.
Lets not speak of the 3rd policy for covering the children ( again, required by them, not me ).
I feel a bit jacked by the whole thing, and have thought about just dropping my policy entirely. But I am the sole source of income for my family, so that does not seem too wise. With the price where it is, I wonder if I am the insurance company's sole source of income... (jk)
You need to find out when the interview was conducted. Maybe last night was a no vodka night for him, and that is why the stock is down. Maybe he needs more, not less.
I propose a full study. Grouped by types of alcohol and amounts, measured against the company stock price.

Yes, you can.
Note, you did not specify if you stood a chance of winning.

Ah! The staples of life! Cheetos and Mountain dew.
And once they are in place someone can be congratulated on how effectively they are keeping the dive bombers away.
They will bring the airships down lower, cover the sides in advertising, and the whole thing will suddenly be a complete non-issue!
There is probably a cost angle to this that make blimps more cost effective.
:-)
I would imagine ( but dont have data to back this up ) that station keeping
a blimp would be less costly in fuel than flying a heavier than air craft.
Plus the crashes would be softer.
Cant you see Greta Garbo saying "I vant to be ALONtm"?
And dont you think that that is exactly what Microsoft wants?
0 step method.... ( patent pending... )
Hijack DNS, point the windows update site at own server.
Have "updated" items on said server such that Windows binaries are
replaced with other operating system's binaries.
Done.
Now you have me feeling thursty.
The big spenders will tell the candidate. On that you may rely.
This would only open the door to lying about what you gave to
increase your "pull".
How about this instead? You cant give, except to a pool
that all candidates can draw from equally. Much as you
want, no oversite.
But companies are only interested in profits.
It would be kinda like letting my dog have a say in how
the household is run. No sense or sensibility, just
"stomache".
This is terribly enlightening!!!
;-)
So, all I have to do is certify my building to be bug free!
It worked for the lumberman.

If the spec called for monkeys flying out of the orifices ( as specified ) of the user, then it could be CMM-5.
:-)
I think my next spec will call for just that!
And there was much rejoicing!

Point understood.
Answer to question: "Good" = Good to the companies long term survival.

He did say "good" CEO's. Not everyday, average, run of the mill CEO's. :-)
You know. The kind that is extremely rare.
Nope. The VP of Sales wants one and doesnt want to have to pay for it.
So, this project ensures he will get one.
And you probably can petition the court.
Mind you, I did not say successfully.
What will secure the pennies to each other?
Good point.
Small nit, the S/38 and the AS/400 are not the same. Very similiar, but different.
