I'm on a Roll!
The sticky note worked (see yesterday for an explanation). Yesterday was a very productive day. We made definite progress on several products. Most notable are the acceptance test and actuate.
We now have the machines we need to set up the authentication acceptance test environment. They have power, network connections, IP addresses and DNS. Now all we have to do is get the services set up and point all of our acceptance test environments that consume authentication services to it. Once that is complete, a major portion of the acceptance test environment will be complete. One thing that is still lacking and could bite us is the fact that we do not have adequate change management procedures in place to ensure that AT and production will stay in synch.
I attended a meeting yesterday about actuate acceptance test procedures. We have some great people in tiers 3 and 4. They obviously had put some thought into what we need to have in place and what we need to communicate to our customers. I was impressed. We will have a draft of our acceptance test procedures this week, and I will be heading up the effort to communicate it to our customers.
Today I am going to skip some meetings so I can write some more. I succeeded in getting a very rough draft of the vision/scope document for the payment portal yesterday. I hope I will be able to make that kind of progress on other fronts today.
