Looks like the delivery of this project is going to go right down to the last day. Hopefully deployment tomorrow and full user acceptance.

That's only used to wrap up small projects. In these big test projects, as long as you work all the contracted hours you don't have to deliver a tangible result.

Much wickets and met all targets by leaps and bounds. Next project please.

Looks like Bob has failed to deliver and the in-house team had to pick it up and put it to bed.
