Detail vs Complexity igambler May 12 2005, 16:40:59 UTC

While I am often a huge fan of the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle and believe it can cure a wide variety of ills such as War and Famine... I fear that the requirements for the documentation require a high level of detail that would have to be redone from scratch. The boss decided that this would be a waste of time and resources so he wanted me to put together the documentation that we already had (We didn't really have any) and now after all of this he wants his documentation sumary sheet created... FYI, It is one page in micro print as opposed to two.

Trust me you should see the VOLUMES of stuff that they ask me to write for the rank and file. They (upper management) want a summary of what it is I really wrote. Oh the pain in my ass.

They want it all in 2 pages bro. upper management dont care about the truth. You gona have bust out the spreed sheet and make the shit all add up to 2.

You're assuming that intelligence is involved in the decision-making process.

Bad assumption.

I personaly believe if it does not come in 5 colors and no text upper management cannot understand the report.
