Review of Oracle Designer process
What to expect for exam
Quotes from fellow survivors of
the RR project


“I’ve learned that project managers do
use tools like Project 2000… and they
have to create those pesky weekly status
reports”
“We wish we would have slowed down a
bit and enjoyed each others’ company
over dinner or drinks at least once during
the project”
Quotes from fellow survivors of
the RR project

“I have never been a person who prized a
high degree of organization… I found
myself resenting the requirements of this
project from the beginning…”
Quotes from fellow survivors of
the RR project
“… However, I found that extensive
planning really can pay off… I learned
that a group project does not have to be
mayhem…
All deadlines were met, our deliverables
were excellent, and no one had to lose
sleep over the project.”
Quotes from fellow survivors
of the RR project

“I learned more than I meant to.”
