The IT Project (Swing Song)

Lyrics

The IT Project (Swing Song)

[Verse 1 – Customer]
The client had a vision:
"A simple swing for play."
Just ropes and wood, that’s all he said –
a tree and kids at bay.

[Verse 2 – Project Manager]
The manager took quick notes,
and made a PowerPoint.
With timelines, graphs, and colored charts –
but missed the whole main point.

[Verse 3 – Architect]
The architect designed it big,
with servers, clouds, and logs.
A platform with ten modules –
and four redundant cogs.

[Verse 4 – Developer]
The dev was lost in frameworks,
and built what looked quite slick.
But sadly, the swing hung sideways –
and broke down with one click.

[Chorus]
🎶 That’s Eye-Tee, that’s how it goes,
when no one really knows.
From simple ask to giant mess –
a swing becomes a stress! 🎶

[Verse 5 – Consultant]
The consultant pitched a sofa,
in diagrams so clean.
"Optimized for synergy!" –
but nowhere could you swing.

[Verse 6 – Documentation]
The docs were almost empty,
just headings, nothing more.
"We’ll write them after launch," they said –
and shoved them in a drawer.

[Verse 7 – Infrastructure]
The admins drilled some cables,
set up a server farm.
But no one checked if outside
there even was a charm.

[Verse 8 – Billing]
The invoice made the client faint,
six figures just for "scope".
With agile fees and buzzword tax –
he barely could cope.

[Chorus]
🎶 That’s Eye-Tee, that’s how it goes,
when no one really knows.
From simple ask to giant mess –
a swing becomes a stress! 🎶

[Verse 9 – Support]
The helpdesk shrugged and answered:
"Try turning it off and on."
The swing now loads in sandbox mode –
but all the fun is gone.

[Verse 10 – Reality]
And what the client wanted,
was hanging clear and bright:
Just one old tire, tied with rope –
to swing from left to right.

[Final Chorus]
🎶 That’s Eye-Tee, it’s plain to see,
we lost simplicity.
A swing, once fun, became a fight –
let’s get the basics right! 🎶
