It is funny how everybody wants you to "be tough" with change requests and question everything, so long as it's not their own change.
Frustrating when somebody throws you under the bus on one change and then turns around and gets angry when you question the very thing the wanted you to question in the previous change that was not their own. Did you follow that? I didn't!
Just because you think something is an emergency does not make it an emergency.

Change Managers Favorite Word - Really?
Really?
It's becoming clear that our virtual change management board with part-time members is not 100% effective. I suppose effectiveness should be quantified and measured with metrics, however, it's becoming clear that the change initiators are not doing what they claim in their change requests.
Thus the question of "Really?" Really did you communicate to your peers who are going to be affected by this change. Really did you test this change.
As I ponder ways to say, "Really?" in a professional manner, I can't help but think that in the end we will start asking for more actual backing documentation to ensure that things get done like they are written on the change requests.
