    Go Live Day

    I love it.

    The culmination of all our hard work and planning. Sitting here with a IM window scrolling past with all the infrastructure guys ticking things off the deployment schedule. All running to time.

    Nice to get a win before I head to the bench.

    Is this the first project to deliver on time in the history of IT?

    Better yet I heard the ERP vendor sent a formal letter of compaint to Client Co blaming our project for their delays owing to insufficient data quality. I just pulled a document I wrote yonks ago, citing the agreed data deliverables, assumptions, caveats etc. It's getting all "law-suitish", but I think that document might just have blown the whole compaint out of the water.

    All they way along I asked for acceptance criteria. They didn't provide, so I wrote my own and sent it to them for sign off in August. Clever suity.

    Anyone else going live today? Quite a dos.

    Very good, has your invoice been paid?

        Nothing to celebrate then.

          On a Friday? Schoolboy error.
          Keeping calm. Keeping invoicing.

              So you go live and sod off? Where is the ELS, or the post implementation review?

                Review at 3pm. Going live on a Friday is very common. It gives you the weekend as contingency. What's wrong with you people?
