When you''ve read through the article and considered the issues and suggestions made in the Background Readings and any other related materials that you''ve managed to locate, please compose a short (ca. 5-7 page) paper on the topic: "What can systems design and development professionals gain by describing certain design efforts as ''death march projects''? Does it help us learn anything, or just undermine our teams, our profession, and/or our companies?" In preparing your paper, you may wish to think about such issues as: • How widespread is the "death march project" phenomenon anyway? Is it something that we ought to worry about, or is it just an odd thing that happens occasionally to unfortunate individuals and organizations? • What are the dynamics involved in a person or a group committing themselves to such efforts? How easy is it to avoid such situations? • What are the points at which the progress toward the death march project could be stopped or at least delayed or re-routed? • Have you ever personally encountered such a project or even been part of one? • What do you think that we can learn, if anything, from an analysis of such projects and the factors that generate them? Can we stop them from occurring? Or at least maybe protect ourselves?
