whistle while you work
Nuts! I have been extremely busy over the past week. I have five or six top priority projects that I am involved in, and each one could be a full-time job. Let me give you a brief update:
Acceptance Test Environment. This is my top priority, and we are meeting as a team for daily war room sessions. The purpose of this project is to fill in the gaps in our acceptance testing infrastructure, and build procedures around using it. We have identified gaps in the various environments, and we are making progress.
Web Authentication. We believe we are getting very close to identifying the scope of this project. We have whittled it down from true single sign on accross disparate platforms to web authentication. Next week will see the business requirements defined, and action plans formed.
Actuate. We are in the process of developing a migration plan to actuate 6, and we have made significant inroads into making our current environment more stable and efficient. We are developing acceptance testing procedures that will help us identify reports that could cause trouble, and fixing them before they get to production.
Content Management. Development of the content management product got ahead of the product definition, so right now we are focusing on developing a business case and a product plan for content management services. This product should have better direction next week after some of those documents are completed.
Employee Portal. This one is in the same boat as content management, in that development got ahead of the product definition, and also ahead of cabinet approval. After I complete the product definition for content management, I will attack this one. It needs a plan that the cabinet will want to buy.
One Stop Business Registration. This is one project that I am grateful I am not driving. James Whitaker is doing a fantastic job. My involvement is more of a consulting role. I am helping with marketing plans and product/operations support plans.
Payment Portal. My involvement in this one is extensive. I am drafting a vision scope document for presentation to the cabinet in december.
