Me to DevOps guy: Time to beat for my current process is 20 minutes.

DevOps guy interjecting at the next meeting: Why did that take you all day if my process time to beat is 20 minutes?

Me: Unboxing, racking, cable runs, power, driving to the site, and figuring out addressing and naming to use are all out of scope for your program last time I checked. My time to enter all settings once all settings are known and physical install is complete stands at about 20 minutes.

I was right, out of scope. It's a shame, we would be launching a very successful business right now if he had figured out a way to get those other steps in scope for DevOps automation.
