Alas. I think the new project I am technical lead on may actually be beyond me.
Having been assigned to redo a project that cost a $1M over a year and failed to deliver, they've decided to have another go, this time with a $500k and 4 months.
Having gone through a session with the previous development team, deep diving into the differences between the requirements for each implementation and being forced to use a source system that is not allowed to be configured differently for clients(even though each clients requirements are quite unique(give or take some common bits) I think I may be forced to go back and say 'can't be done in the timescale, for the money and with the choice of system'
Bearing in mind they've spent $25m on this state of the art system, it looks like it just won't do the job.
I predict the bench may be looming...
