Huzzah!

The Portal Project for which I project manage, this morning has three new channels added for final testing, to go live to the entire University next Monday.

It may not appear to be much to you folks, but it's one hell of a stress-reducer for me.

Would love to see e.g. screenshot - assuming nothing is public yet, so can't see the real thing. Our portal project is on hold. This gives me The Fear, because I know the Vice-Chancellor wants online fee payments next September. But if middle management won't listen, what can you do? :-(

Much empathy about the stress-reduction. I do understand!

I have a "Beginner's Guide to the Portal" which has screenshots of existing stuff and can screenshot the new (Oracle Calendar, our Contacts Directory (bookmarkable version) and Aleph Library Account). Best email?

Ahh, that sweet smell of a project end-date... ;-)

I wish. "Tolerance" on delivery was exceeded three weeks ago.

And this is just this stage. The project as a whole has no end date, like so many in this place.

It's the one thing I actually like about my job. Whatever happens, whatever slips, you know the project is finished (for better or for worse) when a bunch of cardboard boxes with DVD-cased CD-ROMs turns up. There's something satisfying about physical goods... no doubt that will disappear within the next five years, tho'...
