transcript

FTE #1: I know it looks bad using the standard measures, but the project is on track.

FTE #2: Can you back that up?

FTE #1: I'm accountable for the delivery of this project and I'm saying it's on track, isn't that enough?

FTE #2: Unless your blind optimism somehow magically hedges all our business risk, no.

Caption: Accountability doesn't negate governance.
