_-/\-_ Joined a new customer project today. The project started recently. Customer provides project director and business analysts. We provide architects/devs.

In this meeting I noticed that they presented a rough and very (very very) optimistic timeline.
Me: Were any technical people involved back then when you were setting the timeline?
Project Director: No. The dates are fixed. Why?
Me: 
We’re constantly improving how work packages relate to one another. Starting today, we’re introducing a new relation type: “It’s complicated.”
OpenProject now supports unclear dependencies and emotional baggage.
Because sometimes… the relation really isn’t easy to define.
Ah yes, the shocking revelation that #LLMs aren't magic wizards solving business logic problems. 
Who knew AI chatbots weren't the secret sauce for world domination? 
Stick to #APIs, unless you enjoy watching your project self-destruct in spectacular fashion.

Can you recall any challenging Project, Software development initiative, or significant piece of work that encountered Intractable Problems or Elusive Opportunities?
- How did they manifest themselves?
- What impact did they have?
- How were they addressed or navigated?

found out that both the venerable PlantUML and Mermaid.js have Gantt chart diagrams. 
and they are both accessible in Julia with Kroki.jl. and although Kroki is presented as a free SaaS, it can be self-hosted by running a single .jar file.
combined with Pluto.jl notebooks, it's a strong FOSS solution and gives a lot of flexibility.

See our release notes for details: https://openproject.org/docs/release-notes/15-4-2/
We just hired this guy. I don’t think he knows how to do the things we hired him for. I think he’s all charisma and enthusiasm.
Which is great, those are not unimportant characteristics, but still. :/

6/7 As a result of all of the above, I'm pretty experienced with both solo and team #projectManagement.
Other interests: I'm generally a big nerd. Solarpunk optimism is life. Neurodiversity and disability advocacy are important to me. Huge into Obsidian and git. I love FOSS and self-hosting.
