A few weeks after the last feature I was working on got the hook, I had a meeting where it had a funeral and was finally buried. That was ok, because I had already moved on to work on another feature. This feature was high profile with lots of management visibility, and involved more than me (there was a cross-ocean team working on it). We had been working on this since May and had passed several milestones already. Can you guess where this is going?

I came in on Monday and an architect pinged me on instant messaging and said – hot off the presses, your feature has been deferred. I pinged my manager, and even he hadn’t heard yet, but he did mention that I had terrible luck! Anyways, I am 100% confident that this time my feature won’t have its life support turned off. Now I’m just hoping 3 times is not the charm.
