[QUOTE="Tabe, post: 14330, member: 342"] QA Lead here. Have worked on financial/banking software and am currently doing healthcare software. Here's a war story: So we were handed a list of components to be tested for a software package and were asked to provide time estimates for testing each. No problem. I'm going through the list and I see a component/category called "Other". I go to the manager and ask "Am I supposed to provide an estimate for this?" Answer: "Yes". Me: "How am I supposed to estimate 'other'?" Answer: "Just do it." WTF? Like Rooter, I've also been involved in projects where "improved" management seems to just be annoying the crap out of the people working on it more often. I was on one where they wanted updates every 15 minutes. Gimme a break. Tabe [/QUOTE]
