Reports from the engineering team to the CEO


The Engineer's Dictionary

Major Technological Breakthrough...
Back to the drawing board.

Developed after years of intensive research...
It was discovered by accident.

Modifications are underway to correct certain minor difficulties...
We threw the whole thing out and are starting from scratch.

Project slightly behind original schedule due to unforeseen difficulties...
We are working on something else.

The designs are well within allowable limits...
We just made it, stretching a point or two.

Customer satisfaction is believed assured...
We are so far behind schedule that the customer was happy to get
anything at all from us.

Close project coordination...
We should have asked someone else or let's spread the responsibility
for this.

A number of different approaches are being tried...
We don't know where we're going, but we're moving.

Extensive effort is being applied on a fresh approach to the problem...
We just hired three new guys; we'll let them kick it around for a
while.

The design will be finalized in the next reporting period...
We haven't started this job yet, but we've got to say something.

Test results were extremely gratifying...
It works, and are we surprised!

Preliminary operational tests are inconclusive...
The damn thing blew up when we turned it on.

The entire concept will have to be abandoned...
The only guy who understood the thing left.

As a family member whom use to work for D.A.R.P.A. in the US - he showed me this once, when I asked him, what did they do all day, and was it effective, once I read it, realised they were like any design and manufacturing outfit - Up the s..t.
