IT’S EASY IF YOU JUST KNOW HOW — AND CHEAP
Universal Test Interface Box
We were over-budget and months behind by the time I joined the project. Here’s a compact summary of what actually happened. Names and places have been altered to protect the innocent and maintain confidentiality agreements. Any resemblance to real events in YOUR life is probably accidental, unless you are a test engineer for a medical devices company.
CHAPTER 01
INITIAL PROJECT MEETING WITH TM
Jim: (Test Manager): Hey Fred, do you have any idea how long the TIB (Test Interface Box) project is going to take?
Fred: (Project Manager): Not yet. We haven’t defined the project requirements, yet.
Jim: But I already sent you the description of what I want.
Fred: You mean that paragraph you sent in email yesterday? The one about a universal test interface box for an instrumentation rack?
Jim: Yeah, that one. I guess you read through it?
