Software Haikus

Project team

Talented, Creative people

As always, Snafu


Project done, boss says

That is exactly what I asked for

But not what I want

Project yeah!

We work together all day

And every night too

On Critical path

Really who are we kidding

It's going to slip



Quality is prime

That is what the managers say

Time to market reigns



Let's all get it done!

There is way too much to do

Don't forget to play



The projects started

We are behind as always

Look for my next job



Deadlines fall like leaves

Autumn projects dark and gray

Winter release date



Projects are no fun

When they are doomed from the start

Still boss says work hard



Project not funded

Resources not assigned yet

Delivery was yesterday



Now I'm a PM

Reduce the schedule by ten

No cap's on the end



Schedule is a mess

We have to clean it up fast

Else we'll miss deadline



We are the best team

But have missed all the milestones

Here goes our bonus



First concept commit

Then execution commit

When do we write code?



Think of something good

Do it right the first time

Enjoy it forever



The schedule is set,

Including some buffer time.

Saturdays, Sundays.
