Well, that's better.
Just to add to the joy of life ZM has fallen over again.
They're talking about taking her to the falls clinic again.
It was ever so much use when we went there last year.

A project review meeting where everyone knows, but no-one will admit, that we're not going to hit the Go Live date.Comment

I have no involvement in the progression of the project at all, so I quite happily sit in these meetings and raise questions like "When's X going to be done then?", and "Last week we said Y would be ready by Monday, but it doesn't seem to work yet. Is something wrong?"Originally posted by Bunk View PostAre you playing Deadline Chicken? Waiting to see who blinks first and admits that it can't be done?
Spoke to a couple of the contractors more involved in the dev and testing - they are all saying we'll miss Go Live, and the only question now is which of the multiple items that are delayed will be the one that breaks the camels back.Comment
