The Dilbertian irony here, of course, is that, as stupid as it sounds, it's
as real as it gets in the daily routine of corporate life.

(I'm now looking at a $65 million SAP implementation at one of the world's
largest companies. After 3.5 years, it's nowhere near completion. In all
likelihood it will never be deployed. $65 million! There are many stages of
the project already deemed a "success" by the vendor and the contractor(s)
based on "metrics" not unlike Joel's example in spirit. This is as shameful
as it's lucrative for those involved.)
