I saw today’s strip linked on the ThoughtWorks blog and I thought to myself that the art style looked familiar. Then, I saw that the author was Hans Bjordahl. I’m very excited to see that you’re still writing comic strips in one fashion or another! I read “Where the Buffalo Roam” consistently for years starting in high school and then as a student at CU. I still get strange looks from my friends when I talk about the war that broke out on the comics page of the Colorado Daily. I always thought you would’ve ended up being the next Gary Trudeau… Anyway, I’m glad to see you’re still at it.
Bug Bash is a comic strip written and illustrated by Hans Bjordahl. Bug Bash is a comic strip about technology: managing technology, the business of technology. It's about project management and managing projects through the dull world of Rational Rose, use cases, and requirements. Functional requirements, user requirement, functional specifications, design specifications, call it what you want but it's still the bane of project managers. And when you're done with that, you can think about all the fun that comes with timelines, scheduling, estimates (PERT estimation anyone?) and resourcing until Gantt charts are coming out of your ears. Let's not forget the risk management in the software engineering life cycle. Maintaining the project is just as much fun, managing what was initially set out in requirements and trying to keep feature creep / scope creep in check with change management. If any of these words send nightmares to you, the project manager, then this site probably rings true with you. (Who Links Here?)
