Why System Migrations are Utter CrapolaPosted by admin admin in startup, software, project management, planning, mistakes |

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:
- Blog disaster - posts lost, URL's not found, etc
- Template dysfunction - widget A breaks, but widget B breaks on A fix
- DNS error - that one was my fault and I don't want to talk about it
- 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?
