Create a ticket, assign to me. I will then create a project
in Microsoft PM. Once that is done, you will need to notify
Steve who will then assign an engineer. The engineer will
then state “it’s not my job”. That task will then be assigned
back to you. You will then assign to operations (brian E) who
will then assign one of his resources (mark from the
warehouse). Mark will request a PO from billing who will then
tell him that his manager can only request PO’s. At that
time, brian E will request a PO from billing. Billing will
sit on it for 3 days and then send the PO back to brian.
Brian will forward it to mark who will then go out and
purchase it from sams club. I know I’m missing a few steps
but I’m sure we’ll make it work.
Works like a well oiled machine every time.

I think the introduction of a new product should have been
proposed by engineering.
