How much will it cost? Can you do it in half the time? **Yes, of course we can** **Whatever you ask will be** **The future is known to me** **What you ask will be** The 2nd week the project ran the client called and asked me this I changed my mind, we need something! Can you do it? You're the man! **Yes... I .. think we can** **If we work really hard we will** **We'll work nights and ignore the pain** **Please don't change your mind again.** On the 10th month the client called and said that he's moving the project.. abroad We're running too late we're doing it wrong it seems like this is our fate **Que sera sera** **Whatever will be will be** **The project moved overseas** **Que sera sera** ## More in Agile [All posts in Agile](https://osherove.com/blog/category/agile) - Jun 24, 2007 ### [Agile Israel Conference 2007 - Call For Speakers](https://osherove.com/blog/2007/6/24/agile-israel-conference-2007-call-for-speakers.html) - Jun 22, 2007 ### [Multi Threaded Unit Tests with Osherove.ThreadTester](https://osherove.com/blog/2007/6/22/multi-threaded-unit-tests-with-osherovethreadtester.html) - Jun 20, 2007 ### [HTTPSimulator - Simulating HTTP Requests for unit testing made easier](https://osherove.com/blog/2007/6/20/httpsimulator-simulating-http-requests-for-unit-testing-made.html) - Jun 19, 2007 ### [Art Of Unit Testing Book Available Shortly](https://osherove.com/blog/2007/6/19/art-of-unit-testing-book-available-shortly.html) --- ## About the author **Roy Osherove**: Senior Solutions Architect at AWS working on AI for production and AI-driven development; author of The Art of Unit Testing and Elastic Leadership, with about 20 years of consulting and training on unit testing, TDD, team leadership and continuous delivery. ### Sites - [RobotPaper](https://robotpaper.ai/): This blog: AI patterns and anti-patterns, AI and coding agents, and engineering leadership. - [osherove.com](https://osherove.com): Roy's personal site.
