Someone got paid to make the spreadsheet. Probably for the Government, or maybe the bosses at an inept corporation like Verizon. Then the client kept asking "Where'd you get that number from?" "Where'd you get that number from?" "Where'd you get that number from?", and this is what the spreadsheet developer had to add to it in order to finally get paid...

A finely tuned instrument of torture like that slide can only have come from the evil minds at the Defense Acquisition University...

LOL. Earned Value Management. That slide is how they measure what they should be paid by how much "value" they have provided. If if the damn think isn't done, you have provided some value, so you gotta get paid.

There's a whole art to giant fucking project management. I don't know how people can devote years where they produce one part of one part of the whole thing. Maybe. We wonder why everything costs so much.
