Interview question of the day
-
As I was talking to a company about a Dev Mgr job an ordinary question came up about one of my past lives. At least I thought it was ordinary.
company: How did you get developer buy in?
We were discussing a recent project I ran that was completed in half the expected time and 1/3rd of the allocated budget. Translation, years and millions saved.
me: We sat down and discussed the options until the answer was clear.
company: Yes, but how did you get developer buy in for the solution?
me: We conversed about it....
company: How was that recorded?
me: ... I get the feeling that your company doesn't do agile?
company: Bah! Process be Praised! Everything MUST be written down on a FORM! We need people who know and love the Process.
