"scheduling is hard"?? Yeah, if you have no fucking clue what you are doing I guess everything is hard!

Shipping successful products on time and in-budget is not rocket science! The right people are out there...you just have to hire for it.

It is not hard at all, but typically external pressures force people to agree to things that don't make sense. I have a client that has an event every year at the same time (let's say it's mid-July. They want projects to be completed before this event every year. But for some reason, they don't start planning these projects until let's say end of April. So every year it's the same crazy pressure and quality issues.

If only the planning for these projects started in say, October? But no, in October the team is still dealing with the fallout of the poorly planned projects of the current year.
