With the holidays upon us, I wanted to spread some holiday cheer. I hope I can make you smile, with my medley of requirement “blongs”, to the tune of some of our favorite holiday songs!
Frosty the PM
Frosty the PM led a jolly happy team
With a strong dev lead and a key tester
and BAs charging on full steam
On time releases, are a fairy tale they say
They are made of scope, but the team must
know to control it every day
There must have been some magic in that
entire team he found
For when they launched it just in time
they began to dance around
The 12 days of Planning
In the 12th day of planning, my PDM gave to me….
Twelve coders coding
Eleven priorities changing
Ten directors weeping
Nine SMES designing
Eight users lurking
Seven swim lane drawings
Six schedule slips
Five gold plated features
Four written use cases
Three global actors
Two change requests
and an extra feature for free
It’s beginning to look a lot like a product
It’s beginning to look a lot like a product
Everywhere you click
Take a look in the requirements spec, or maybe the powerpoint deck
I think scope is finally going to stick
It’s beginning to look a lot like a product
New features finally ceased
But the snazziest sight to see is the feature that will be
When your product’s released
Away in a cube farm
Away in a cube farm, nobody has slept,
The tireless code warrior tried to fix his defect.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he test,
The diligent test warrior asleep on his desk.
Joy to the Team
Joy to the team, the release has come!
Let users receive the installs.
Let every coder, leave their cube.
Launch features with fancy bling,
Launch features with fancy bling,
Launch features, and features, with fancy bling.
