Network Dictionary — Orgy of Failure

September 15, 2008 by Greg Ferro · Leave a Comment 

“orgy of fail­ure” is the party thrown at the end of large pro­ject to cel­eb­rate it’s “completion”.

This is not neces­sar­ily a neg­at­ive term, but usu­ally, it is.

At some point in your career you will be involved in a pro­ject that doesn’t achieve the ori­ginal goals, but will be declared a suc­cess by ‘adapt­ing the goals’ or ‘realign­ing to busi­ness require­ments’. This com­ple­tion party is usu­ally more fer­vent and des­per­ate in this case because every­one is so relieved it’s over.

We gather round, and drink heart­ily, laugh nervously, eat with gusto in an “orgy of failure”.
