Comrades Rejoice!

We are ready to engage in decomposition to create the revolutionary work breakdown structure.

To do this, we must look at our inputs to the ‘Creating a revolutionary Work Breakdown Structure process’:
1. We have no ‘pending’ change requests,
2. No revolutionary assets but our intentions, excellent comrades, and revolutionary skill,
3. A preliminary revolutionary scope statement, and
4. A revolutionary scope management plan.

Err…
Number 4…

Comrades, I shall pay the ultimate penalty if we do not create this plan now.

Luckily, the inputs to the revolutionary scope management plan include 1, 2, and 3 from above, and also our revolutionary charter and revolutionary management plan, which we are creating as we go…

Since our scope is almost unlimited, then we shall use expert judgment from comrades such as Comrade Glorious Leader and Comrade Revolutionary Systems Engineer to create a revolutionary scope management plan.

Transcript of the meeting:

CPM (me): What do you think?
CRSE (Comrade Revolutionary Systems Engineer): Why limit ourselves. But since there is only so much time, then what we don’t define now will go into a revolutionary change management process, which I’ll devise.
CPM: Sounds good. When will you have it by?
CRSE: End of Day.
CPM: Excellent. I’ll look for a confirmation on that task and cross it off the preliminary task list, issues log, and communicate it out to the Revolutionary Team. I’ll also work on a format for the status mails so that everyone will be able to identify the relevant information easily, and work on setting up a location where we can store all the revolution’s documentation so that it will be easily accessible for future revolutions, which of course will not be necessary since ours will be the end all of all revolutions.
CRSE: Whatever. I’ll send you the confirmation via our secret encoded communication method.
CPM: We haven’t defined the revolutionary communications strategy yet. We’ll need to setup a meeting to discuss the initial requirements for that, do you know anyone else who should be involved? I’ll spin up a separate revolutionary work breakdown structure task to develop this, and open up an deliverables log to track this item until it is added to the revolution’s management plan.
CRSE: …
CRSE: …
CRSE: Can’t we just.
CPM: NO! We have a process for this and everything else. And if we don’t have a process, then the revolution is nothing. Even after the revolution, there will be process, unless of course, changing ‘process’ becomes one of the revolution’s goals. Would you care to initiate a revolutionary change request on that???
