You forgot to mention that the "small group" is either a subset of the |
| 8 |
interested parties or is commissioned by them. Which doesn't appear to |
| 9 |
be the case here. |

mediocre? We are here to help you, Ciaran. |

Well, it seems that many devs believe there is something wrong in the |
| 22 |
way PMS is conducted. Their observation isn't based on the result |
| 23 |
itself, but on the status (or rather non-status) and behavior of some |
| 24 |
of the project members. Some, even, question the intentions. The noise |
| 25 |
you hear is the alarm that's ringing. |
