It Is Not You, Computerworld. It Is Me
March 15, 2011
Okay, maybe it is you. I was directed to “8 IT Clichés That Must Go”. In light of the changing of the sports seasons, each replete with personal sets of hackneyed musings, Computer World has reposted a CIO.com listing of IT specific clichés to show us we aren’t so different after all.
The most universal of the bunch:
“We delivered the project on time and on budget.” This really means: “we managed to deliver a subset of the original user requirements while spending the same amount of money over a longer period of time to which we got them to agree.”
Granted, perhaps a chief information officer would find this smattering of overused sayings more entertaining than I. In an effort to give credit where credit is due, when you want the best in clichés, go to the source.
Check it out for yourself, form your own opinion. After all, whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right? Maybe that’s why enterprise search is a walk in the park.
