re: What are some hard skills younwish you had learned for your career?

It sounds like either you are working in a subjective field where it’s difficult to quantify elements, or it was implemented by idiots.

Or management just did it because it looks good on paper and didn’t give the point men of the project the support they needed.

But to say it sucks is like saying the scientific method is flawed.

All it is doing is using an statistics driven approach to identify problem areas for management to target. It’s not a solution in of itself. Just a tool to assist in the effective allocation of effort and resources.

And half decent business will use elements of it, even if it doesn’t have the six sigma red stamp on it.
