Submission + - How do you deal with priorities inflation in IT projects?

NetDanzr writes: I work for an IT company that has a steady stream of projects, new features to our existing products and technical support issues. As it is customary, though, our development resources are not sufficient to cover the amount of projects. As a result, our delivery dates are slipping, and as a result the average priority of projects is rising. Where the goal was to have only 10% of projects rated high, within a year nearly 50% of projects is rated as such. Our solution is to completely wipe out the project list once per year and start a new, properly prioritized list. How does your company deal with this inflation of priorities?

obviously illegal stuff leads to a lot of eye-opening attitudes toward issues of sex and gender.

You're riding a crazy carpet all the way down the slippery slope: You KNOW that they're pictures taken from facebook, but you jump to the conclusion that they're "obviously illegal" child pornography!

Their whole model was built on the idea of having a mass-market outlet to lower the production cost of the underlying technology for use in electric wheelchairs. That line about redesigning cities was Steve Job's.

It's *US*, yes, You and Me, who is responsible for this mess. You see, it's *US* who have allowed the politicians we have elected to carry out all these bullshits.

Nope, MY representative is a good guy. I wrote to the previous guy to see what his position was on this shit, and he told me it smelled like flowers, so I helped someone else get the seat.

radiation maps (and the raw data) from NISA was published regularly.

And radiation maps made by independent organizations showed contamination much worse than the official publications.

I'm not going to research this for you, but plenty of people were saying that the evidence showed meltdown and uncontrolled fission right from the start, and the officials denied it until the end of may.
