Day 658 - Next Qualification Migration In Risk

According to planing, in the next weekend a new data migration should occur in the qualification environment. But unfortunately there's so many problems and change requests happening that the mapping is very unstable within a few days from the beginning of the data migration.

This next weekend data migration is in risk, and this is critical for the entire project, since the data migration is in the project critical path.

Management still doesn't know if it's a "go" or a "no go", that decision will be taken late this week.

Day 655 - Under Pressure

This past week the team has been reinforced with one extra person. This was critical because we had 4% of change requests during this past 5 week. He have implemented and tested 146 change requests, including new mapping tables and claim mappings that should be stable for weeks now.

This kind of instability is making the entire team under great pressure beacause within one week, a new data migration will be performed to qualification environment.

Day 651 - Distinct Views of the Same Situation

Management and me disagree when it comes to the current status of the data migration project.
Management seems happy with it and I'm concerned with the quantity of change requests we're getting when we're so near the next big data migration.
After that we'll have only one month before the beginning of the simulations and I'm not happy because I already know things will change a lot again.

I'm very concerned with this kind of undesired activity since it may be a no-go factor.
Management has not taken my opinion too seriously and has assured its own team things are ok.

Day 643 - The Begining of Massive Changes

New year's gone and we're starting a massive change set on things that should be closed and stable.
Change requests have already started, but management asked me to increase the team since there will be a lot of change requests very soon and they need to be ready and the mapping must be stabilized for the next big data migration into the Q&A environment.
I have some concerns with this kind of activity when we're just two weeks away from the next big test.

Day 205 - First Change Requests

As expected, lots of change requests and lots of mapping meetings are taking place this week.
My guess is that by December, the maximum number of change requests covered by the contract will be reached. But this is just my guess...
