Maybe my Head Will Just Explode

This project continues to drive me nuts. We have be working for 2 days on some fairly large tedious InfoPath forms for the one group. Today I got an invite to a review meeting (no problem there) but include was a totally different layout for the form. I just don't understand. Do these people think that they can just go on their merry way making changes and expect us to keep doing rework. Someone need to explain the facts of life to them. If we are expected to ever to produce a workable application, the changes need to stop. This project is starting to exhibit all the classic symptoms of an IT project heading toward failure.

If it does fail, I am sure the finger will point right at the technical team. Never mind that system requirements were 3 months late and kept being changes on a whim. I am sure I will hear that I need to be flexible and adapt to change to satisfy the user. While true to an extent; when does the user take responsibility to provide complete and finalized requirements so we can do our job? I have kept my mouth shut (which is the right thing to do) but I am so frustrated right now I could explode.

I hope things get resolved this week or next so we can put our energies into creating an application that we can be proud of. At this point I have no confidence that we will get the chance to do the job we can. With the changes we had before the inplementation date had been pushed out by months. Can't wait to see how that goes over.
