The world of information technology in illustration

Fri, Dec 29, 2006

I am not sure who made this and it was just passed around by friends I know via IM. They found it on LinuxKungFu.org with no credits either.

How the customer explained it

How the project leader understood it

How the analyst designed it

How the programmer wrote it

How the business consultant described it

How the project was documented

What operations were installed

How the customer was billed

How it was supported

What the customer really needed

All illustrations are not by ActionOnline.biz and I also do not know who made them. But they are funny and some seem to really reflect reality. As they say, it is usually just a miscommunication error.

Update: December 24, 2007. I finally dedicated some time to find out who originally made this and found out it was ProjectCartoon.

And I also found out, I lack some of the images. And the copy of the images I originally got were really small. Below are the two images I didn’t have.
