Coporate Communication

Programmer to Team Leader:

"We can't do this proposed project. **CAN NOT**. It will involve a major

design change and no one in our team knows the design of this legacy system.

And above that, nobody in our company knows the language in which this

application has been written. So even if somebody wants to work on it, they

can't. If you ask my personal opinion, the company should never take these

type of projects."

Team Leader to Project Manager :

"This project will involve a design change. Currently, we don't have any

staff that has experience in this type of work. Also, the language is

unfamiliar to us, so we will have to arrange for some training if we take

this project. In my personal opinion, we are not ready to take on a project

of this nature."

Project Manager to 1st Level Manager :

"This project involves a design change in the system and we don't have much

experience in that area. Also, not many people in our company are

appropriately trained for it. In my personal opinion, we might be able to do

the project but we would need more time than usual to complete it."

1st Level Manager to Senior Level Manager :

"This project involves design re-engineering. We have some people who have

worked in this area and others who know the implementation language. So they

can train other people. In my personal opinion we should take this project,

but with caution."

Senior Level Manager to CEO :

"This project will demonstrate to the industry our capabilities in

remodeling the design of a complete legacy system. We have all the necessary

skills and people to execute this project successfully. Some people have

already given in house training in this area to other staff members. In my

personal opinion, we should not let this project slip by us under any

circumstances."

CEO to Client :

"This is the type of project in which our company specializes. We have

executed many projects of the same nature for many large clients. Trust me

when I say that we are the most competent firm in the industry for doing

this kind of work. It is my personal opinion that we can execute this

project successfully and well within the given time frame.
