    The CIA wrote a manual on how to do this. It’s a bit old and parts of it are outdate for some times of work, but a lot of it is still useful.

    • Misunderstand orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders
    • Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products
    • Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done (some might say normal businesses do this as a matter of course…)
    • Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible

      Shit, 80% of the people I work with must have read that manual then. That’s a near daily occurrence.

        Every web project manager I’ve ever had apparently lived by this manual.
