Vasya says

When Vasya said that the customer was not stupid and he should tell about the risks of the project, everyone said that the customer would be afraid and give up on the project.

When Vasya said that any evaluation of a project is a statistical value and has its own confidence interval, everyone said that the level of uncertainty is so high that it can never be shown to the customer.

When Vasya said that there is no reason to hope that everything will go much better than in the previous failed project, everyone said that we will work many times more efficiently because we have gained invaluable experience from the last failure and will not repeat previous mistakes.

When Vasya said that the application of a new technology in the project will first necessarily reduce the productivity of the team and only later, maybe, if lucky, it will increase it a little, everyone said that a blog post by a well-known guru promises that this approach will allow implementing a project at least two times faster.

When Vasya said that the team should be motivated to achieve the best results, but to be prepared for the worst, everyone said that putting risks into assessments dampens the team and justifies poor performance.

When Vasya said that he would hope only for good luck, it would be like not having fire extinguishers in the cinema, everyone said that the team should be focused only on success.

Since then, Vasya had become known as a troubleshooter, and the rest, who worked 60 hours a week, handed over the project half a year later and twice exceeded the estimates of labor costs, became heroes.

UPD: During the discussion, the collective mind gave birth to quite logical conclusion of the post.

During the project, two fighters divorced, one came down with a nervous breakdown.

Vasya, tired of fighting with windmills, exclaimed: “Carriage for me, carriage!” And updated the summary on hh.
