Getting tired of this negative shtick. Yeah, I've worked on mismanaged projects, but have also worked on well managed projects and some fantastically managed projects (one of which was mismanaged until the company hired a new VP of Engineering--that guy knew how to manage projects.)
I've also worked on well managed projects for products which couldn't be monetized profitably. This resulted in what may have appeared to be mismanagement by some, but was most everyone trying to salvage what originally seemed like a good product.
