Secret Meeting

I got my hands on a recording of a secret meeting held between project managers last Friday.  Here it is in it's gory glory.

"OK, so it's agreed, we increase all of our estimates by 10% and blame it on the overhead caused by the Deployment Team.  Right?"

"Ah, hang on a moment.  There might be a problem with that."

"What is it <too garbled to understand>?  What don't you understand about pinning the blame on the Deployment Team?  In particular that pain in the butt, Don."

"Well, don't you think that he might notice what's going on if everyone suddenly complains about his team costing the organization a lot of money?  I mean, I don't think he's a complete moron and he might figure something out."

<sound of people spitting out their beer on to the floor>

"Not again?!?!?"  <sounds like the waitress bring a mop to clean things up>

"What makes you think Jessop can figure this out?"

"Well, he has been in projects before, from a project plan creation perspective and he understands that estimates need to be complete.  And this means that they have to take into account all of the costs of the project.  Some of those costs include interacting with the Deployment Team to ensure that the application is deployed properly."

<long silence>

"You're a plant, aren't you?  You're not really a project manager, your a mole!  Get HIM!!!!"

The recording breaks up at this point as the noise of chairs being tipped over and beer steins breaking on the floor seem to take up much of the remainder of the recording.  There is the faint sound of someone shouting " ... no blood inside the bar ... ", but that could be just my imagination.

So, Project Managers, how are those estimates coming along?
