It's Business Critical!
"Let me guess" started Justin with a wry smile, "Mr. Van Halen is on 'strike' because he found a brown M&M, right?"
With a beleaguered look, Brian glared back over the rim of his glasses "If only - check your email."
Justin's manager had forwarded to him and Brian a very long running email thread involving the product group, his director, the VP of IT, and the new consultant for the E-Business group. Famous for his often insane requests (like refusing to even start work until he was given a window office, personal coffee maker, and unblocked Internet access) he encouraged everybody to call him Eddie, but outside of planning meetings, everybody just referred to him by his more appropriate rock star moniker.
The email thread was a jumbled mess of back-and-forth negotiation, but in a nut shell, all design and development was on hold until a specific Enterprise Source Control Management System was put in place. Clearly, eSCM was "clearly superior" to the SVN server they had in place.
