Your Schedule Is Lying
(Build the Real Chain)A traditional Gantt chart ignores resource availability. It assumes the same person can be in three places at once. Build the critical chain by counting scarce resources and dependencies — no fantasy scheduling.
// LYRICS
[Verse 1] The chart said Thursday The chart looked clean Every box connected Like a little machine But Sam is on checkout Sam is on search Sam is on the outage And one more urgent merge [Chorus] Your schedule is lying Build the real chain Count the people Count the strain Your schedule is lying When one expert appears In three different places In the same three days [Verse 2] The path looked shorter Before we saw The one scarce expert Holding it all The work has dependencies The people do too A plan that ignores them Is lying to you [Bridge] Draw the arrows Name the hands Who is needed Where it lands Level the people Then look again The chain that ships Is the chain you defend [Final Chorus] Your schedule is lying Build the real chain No fantasy calendars No invisible pain Your schedule is lying Until it can explain Who does what, when Without breaking the chain
