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.

All the time numb nuts - my projects work - it is part of the natural order of the universe.

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

It's very common. So is stupidity

5pm Friday is release time round here.

It assumes that if it fails then the developers will work until 9am monday to get it fixed.

Why if it has been properly tested and does not work is it the dev teams fault...

it should be pulled and re-tested correctly during working hours

There are very few testers who test 'properly'; most just carry out a set of instructions written acccording to some vacuous methodology and then piss off to the pub.

Yes, we all know that feeling but it's a new experience for him so leave him to it
