The special zombie project hydra

The project that persists by taking a life of its own. Undying and consecutively more ambiguous. Ownership is undefined and there is no committee.

You turn the corner and open the door. You are ambushed by a special zombie project hydra.

The project strikes first, two months late:

• You offer to help before it reaches you. The effect is ignored.
• Project spits late deliverable. You are poisoned.
• Project drains stamina with a fixed deadline.
• You attempt to adjust the deadline with a calendar. The action is ignored.
• Project rattles a frame at you without a strategy.
• The project deliverable is missing pieces. Poison persists.
• Project leers. It has no scope nor measurable goals.
• Project stuns you with new technical features request x 1.
• Project grows a new head. The head lead has changed!
• Project original deadline strike! The project is due in 3 days.
• Project stuns you with new technical features request x 2. Effect doubled.
• The project deliverable is missing pieces. Poison persists.
• You attempt to flee. You can’t flee!
