My Tuesday quick rant. I’m not a big fan of schizophrenic IT departments (not a fan, but sometimems reality has to be tolerated). These are IT departments that one week want things fast and agile (like a cowboy!). Then the next week they realize fast often means mistakes, misconfigurations, and missing pieces that weren’t planned for, so the goal is suddenly to be slower and more deliberate (woot change management!). Then the next week, something needs to be done immediately in a cowboy state…

Not a fan of that…especially when the deliberate state makes the cowboy sprints much more painful and vice versa.
