Why System Migrations are Utter Crapola

Posted by admin admin in startupsoftwareproject managementplanningmistakes

You would think that with 120+ years of experience we'd do a better job at the inflection point - where you start moving test into restricted production.

Or, based on personal experience, you wouldn't.

Well, I did.

Let me count the problems:

  1. Blog disaster - posts lost, URL's not found, etc
  2. Template dysfunction - widget A breaks, but widget B breaks on A fix
  3. DNS error - that one was my fault and I don't want to talk about it
  4. Check-in-Dilbertiasim - like it was supposed to all render in IE?

I was once involved in a $200M+ system implementation.  After almost 2 years of prep time my department's deliverables were totally complete.  And they weren't used.

I am actually a bit more frustrated today.  And our least favorite client called so I am gritting my teeth and working through issues of left column spacing.

Kill me now?
