I knew a project manager that made everything hot pink and purple for demo purposes. He wanted to make it clear that the colors would be decided after the functionality is worked out. He said that if he tried to use realistic colors the customer would spend hours discussing the shade of blue or whatever and the important information would never come up. So he purposefully picked the most outlandish colors.
I may have to try that. Saving Changes...

I have experienced most of the issues mentioned above other than compromising my integrity, but somehow I was able to finish those projects.
Personally If I feel that the reason why I started the project is not valid anymore, I don't think I will continue with that project. Saving Changes...

1 if project violates ethics
2 lack of sponsor support
3 No clear objective or desire to define one Saving Changes...
You are right Sante. I have actually had almost of these issues occurring but was unable to leave the project.
I have not had a project yet that asked me to compromise integrity. I did have one that was taking a negative toll on my personality. I finished that project but asked to not be assigned to work with that sponsor ever again.
Yes I have experience all of those issues also, but we have resilience to stick around, because there is something to be said for the integrity of the project also. Saving Changes...
