A satirical view of the madness that surrounds IT project management in the 21st century. Imagine a company where they combine widely different methodologies, introduce complex stage-gates, hold really expensive offsite meetings and demand the skills of a rugby scrum coach. No wonder everyone needs to be "Agile". Sound familiar? Effie is thrown into this world by chance and she collects a motley team of misfits around her as she navigates the confusion, subterfuge and downright lies that go into setting up and governing a modern I.T. Project. In the process she uncovers a devious and corrupt plot to implode the iconic construction company she works for and sell off its worthless assets while ruining the working lives of all her friends. During the roller-coaster ride of twists and turns she also finds that truth, love and common sense are all you need - well almost At least they seem more useful than a Powerpoint deck, a 'stand-up' wall and a bunch of architects.
