Related movie recommendation: The Pentagon Wars (1998). The one where "Toby" from "West Wing" (Richard Schiff) is put in charge of product managing the Bradley Fighting Vehicle that eventually tries to address every single need from every part of the army.


Absolutely. This film is a "must-see" for every aspiring project manager. It is very much on point with my experience on projects for big clients:

* Continuously changing list of requirements

* Incoherent decision making process

* Unrealistic deadlines

* Upper management that pats itself on the back for ridiculous decisions

It really is a good case study for failed communication in big organizations.


Besides all of that, it's also a really well-crafted movie.
