"We can't do this proposed project. ** CAN NOT **.
It will involve a Major design change and no one in our team knows the
design of this legacy system. And above that, nobody in our company knows the
language in which this application has been written. So even if somebody wants to
work on it, they can't. If you ask my personal opinion, the company should never
take these type of projects."
Team Leader to Project Manager:
"This project will involve a design change.
Currently, we don't have any staff who has experience in this type of
work. Also, the language is unfamiliar to us, so we will have to
arrange for some training if we take this project. In my personal
opinion, we are not ready to take on a project of this nature."
Project Manager to 1st Level Manager:
"This project involves a design change in the system and we don't have much experience in that area.
Also, not many people in our company are appropriately trained for it.
In my personal opinion, we might be able to do the project but we would
need more time than usual to complete it."
1st Level Manager to Senior Level Manager:
"This project involves design re-engineering. We have some people who have worked in this area and
others who know the implementation language. So they can train other people.
In my personal opinion we should take this project, but with caution."
Senior Level Manager to CEO:
"This project will demonstrate to the industry our capabilities in remodeling the design of a complete legacy
system. We have all the necessary skills and people to execute this
project successfully. Some people have already given in-house training
in this area to other staff members.
In my personal opinion, we should not let this project slip by us under
any circumstances."
CEO to Client:
"This is the type of project in which our company
specializes. We have executed many projects of the same nature for many
large clients. Trust me when I say that we are the most competent firm
in the industry for doing this kind of work. It is my personal opinion
that we can execute this project successfully and well within the given
time frame."
