[Chugalug] OT? support

[Ed King]

I'm not a PMP project manager nor do I play one on t.v.  

However, my team *delivers* and our systems make money for the company.   We 
don't have any failed projects where the servers are sitting in storage room 
gathering dust.

Now, I never said we were perfect.   Does our software have bugs?  Hell yeah it 
has bugs.   Some of them never got caught during testing because our field users 
are a lot more clever about breaking things than we are.

Anyway, my question is, how many support personnel "should" be expected for any 
given software system of significant complexity?    I know thats kind of a vague 
question.    


I'd love to get some real world examples of how many support folks your software 
has (and the size/complexity of the system being supported)

If a team is constantly cranking out new products, isn't it just common sense 
that the need for support going to increase?
