101 Ways To Know Your Software Project Is Doomed

What make this list so funny (for a software developer) is that many items are so close to reality -- or simply true!  

When you work a couple of years as a consultant, you witness all sort of things...  Even an Agile Waterfall methodology!

I have some more items to add to the list, based on my past work experiences:

102) The configuration file is a database and the reporting system is build with XSL/XML files that are parsed to produce some CSV files.

103) The project manager was in charge of the IT inventory (moving computer boxes around) in the mid '70 -- got promotted -- and now he is in charge of software development departement.

104) You wrote a script named "Find_the_coupable" (coupable = guilty in French) to search the source control system to locate when a faulty line was introduced and, more importantly, by WHO.

105) Your boss invites you -- at the last minute -- to a meeting and don't tell you that you will have to do a presentation in front of the attendees...

106) Your company's warehouse looks like the one in the last scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark (not really software related)

If you have some of your own to add, leave a comment!
