I get where you are coming from. :)

I have been working on a project without such planning and yes it is a nightmare! If I had known what I was getting into, I would have walked away I think. That said I have enjoyed "working under pressure".

The "what went wrong?" comment struck home, the whole overtime is expected for normal delivery is bad IMHO. If there is overtime it should be because of an unforeseen "challenge".

Great post!
