[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 770095, member: 1246"] [FONT=Times New Roman]DICTIONARY OF PROJECT TERMS: Major Technological Breakthrough---"Back to the drawing board." Developed after years of intensive research---"It was discovered by accident." Project slightly behind original schedule due to unforeseen difficulties---"We are working on something else." The designs are well within allowable limits---"We just made it, stretching a point or two." Customer satisfaction is believed assured---"We are so far behind schedule that the customer was happy to get anything at all from us." Close project coordination---"We should have asked someone else." The design will be finalized in the next reporting period---"We haven't started this job yet, but we've got to say something." A number of different approaches are being tried---"We don't know where we're going, but we're moving." Test results were extremely gratifying---"It works, and are we surprised!" Extensive effort is being applied on a fresh approach to the problem---"We just hired three new guys; we'll let them kick it around for a while." Preliminary operational tests are inconclusive---"The darn thing blew up when we threw the switch." The entire concept will have to be abandoned---"The only guy who understood the thing quit." Modifications are underway to correct certain minor difficulties ---"We threw the whole thing out and are starting from scratch." [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
