Guaranteed to Fail at Status Updates

di Doc Disaster (Autore)

VinterBooks, 2026

Sound on track. Hide the truth. Report your way out of reality. Status updates are supposed to keep work moving. Instead, they've become a modern workplace art form: polished, upbeat, and perfectly engineered to create confidence… while nothing actually changes. In Guaranteed to Fail at Status Updates, Doc Disaster delivers a satirical anti-guide to the reporting rituals that keep projects "Green" right up until the day they explode. You'll follow a familiar cast of well-meaning professionals as they master the three engines of status failure: NO TRUTH: blur reality into "underway," "emerging," and "timing sensitivities." NO OWNERSHIP: weaponize "we" language until responsibility becomes a ghost. NO CONSEQUENCES: generate visibility, dashboards, and "watch items" that soothe stakeholders without improving outcomes. Told through email chains, cringe dialogue, chat threads, transcripts from hell, templates, and mini-essays, this book is a sharp, warm, dry look at what happens when communication becomes a substitute for progress—especially in hybrid work, cross-functional chaos, and "quick sync" culture. If you've ever marked something Green to avoid follow-up, said "no blockers" while actively blocked, or built a dashboard as an emotional support animal, this book will feel uncomfortably like a meeting you've already attended. Perfect for: managers, project leads, product/engineering teams, consultants, and anyone who has ever typed "Just a quick status" and then blacked out.
