I once worked on a project in France on an unannounced product. It was about the size of a refrigerator and would sell for $200,000 to $700,000 a copy depending on features installed and country requirements. Multiple "refrigerators" could be attached together for more capacity if necessary. Each position inside the "refrigerator" had two cards (front and back). The front provided the functionality and the rear adapted it for each country's telephony and communication requirements. All of the engineers on the machine resided in the same location but they never talked to each other. When they wnat to be stubborn the would claim to not speak English.
I and 2 others from around the world showed up and we were suppose to put the finished product through it's paces and write implementation manuals. Each card was designed and programmed by a different Engineer. Nothing worked together. We spent the entire 6 months testing applications, looking up individual engineers, explaining problems in English to French engineers, and getting the interoperability problems resolved. We never got a single implementation manual written. Another crew later came in and wrote the manuals. I later returned to "Americanize" their English written manuals.
I learned on a previous similar assignment at a US site that engineers only look at their assigned piece and seldom look at the completed project as a whole. This France assignment was no different. One engineer can design a starter but he is not worried about where the power comes from to run it. That responsibility belongs to someone else.
