Tweaking Numbers

Today, I write almost after a month. This does not goes to signify that I had lot's of work to finish, so I couldn't write about the exciting life of PM's. Well, actually it was more of work away from work.

Lives of many PM's around me haven't changed a bit, some when I returned looked thinner with the colors of their skin almost turning to white. It was not about projects, but a annual epidemic called "quality check". It happens every year just to ensure lives of many people will be better (probably), systems will function (hopefully), and the cash register will ring when the next cheque arrives (affirmative). Stuff which I again read during MBA.

Many companies strive to achieve the SIXth sigma, it's a zone of nirvana for the operation guys - who dream of producing only 3.4 error(s) amongst a million productive units. Many individuals who get smarter in tweaking productivity numbers get belt's in different color - just like in karate. Just that you are practicing a discipline of improving processes.

Trust me, it is yet to make the lives of the people working in that process better, I like karate over six sigma practices.

Untill then - practise self discipline :)
