I believe the term is "Death March."

Posted at
 

For those in the software business, you have, at one point or another been on a death march. This is not to be confused with the actual death marches of Bataan or similar, which were considerably more horrendous.

That being said, what I hoped would be done by the end of May has been extended into June. I am writing this between listening to my recorded voice for the voice-over and starting dinner, so I can get back to my computer and finish today's list of tasks that have already spilled over into Saturday's list of tasks. We will skip the customer's complaints about Thursday's list of tasks that have been moved to Sunday. You get the idea.

This means, that any writing related to non-training material is on hold. I really have nothing left after cranking out 5000 words on value stream, or is it DevOps tooling. Improvement Kata? You get the idea. And then a week of wordsmithing it for the customer's unique environment. Can we use something other than calling it automation? People are afraid they will be automated out of a job. I only wish I was kidding sports fans.

I have not forgotten my stories, they are just sitting on a shelf waiting for me to have enough brainpower left to finish them and then clean them. Maybe in August...

Thanks for reading.
