I??™m trying to decide if their suggestions are worth postponing the feature we were planning
to start next week. Our success has made us visible throughout the company, so requests are starting
to flood in. I need to figure out how to keep us on track without alienating too many people.???
???Sounds tough,??? Kim said. ???So, would you say that you??™re working on requirements, then????
???I??™m working on making our stakeholders happy,??? Brian shrugged, turning back to the whiteboard.
???Don??™t mind him,??? Kim whispered to Pat as they walked away. ???He??™s under a lot of pressure right now.
This whole project was his idea. It??™s already saved the company two and a half million dollars, but now
there??™s some political stuff going on. Luckily, we programmers don??™t have to worry about that. Brian
and Rachel take care of it??”Rachel??™s our project manager.???
???Wait... I thought Brian was the project manager????
???No, Brian is the product manager. He??™s in charge of deciding what we build, with the help of stakeholders
and other team members, of course. Rachel is the project manager??”she helps things run smoothly. She
helps management understand what we??™re doing and gets us what we need, like when she convinced
Facilities to tear down the cubicle walls and give us this nice open workspace.
