That was a surprise!
Oct. 21st, 2024 09:52 pmIt's a good thing I'm not a betting person because I would have lost - and so would a number of other people based on some conversations I've had today. Well, now it's my job to make them look good :D
The new template went down well and I even got a 'Well done!', even though mostly what I did was rebadge what we already had :D Still, I thought about what to keep and what to ditch; I didn't JUST throw it together. As one of the PMs said, 'Take the credit'! The thing is, I don't do false modesty - if I feel I've worked hard and done a good job with something, I will most definitely take the praise. This just felt a bit OTT for the amount of work I'd actually put into it. Having said that, I did create the documents this one was based on... So, yeah, well done me!
Not sure if the Lessons Learned form is going to work... The project has to be put in manually rather than being a look up like the other forms are. There's a reason for that - but it gives the users an inconsistent experience. The important thing is for people to actually start using it, though.
And one of the PMs reiterated their position on the higher-level planning that's being done and how it doesn't take account of anything that happens before requirements gathering. But I've managed to get a slot in the Leadership Team meeting, so I'll stress the importance of the Mobilisation stage and how it needs to be given time to be done.
That's enough for tonight. I'm still not 100% and I'm already late to bed :(
