accomplishments past period:
- completed draft of plan for upgrading the os (required step for
upgrading to oracle 8.1.7) and the database in order to move the
latest version of casetracker into production
- reviewed oracle audit file to identify all users of casetracker
desktop; drafted and distributed email to affected clients clarifying
issues and informing them of options for handling the upgrade
- discussed casetracker rules of use and other policy work with
director of support, and began planning for an initial category
owners' meeting to share this and other work with them
goals for coming period:
- complete review of document about transferring cases between
categories, and then share with the category owners, along with draft
of initial rules of use
- schedule meeting with oliver, lisa robinson and myself to discuss
what might make sense moving to east
- complete all casetracker desktop upgrades by 3/1
- meet to plan next set of design discussions around status field,
case lists, web searches, and prioritization of brainstormed lists
from last design meeting
issues:
- need to adjust our schedule for moving latest version into
production due to unforeseen issues
- revise casetracker web welcome screen to be more informative and intuitive
- revisit our document about casetracker development phases to
refresh and modify our plans as needed
- make appropriate links between casetracker user documentation and
casetracker rules of use and policy statements
- determine whether and how we might make effective use of one-time
project dollars this upcoming quarter to assist in moving casetracker
development forward
key learning:
- somewhere along the way we really did become an enterprise tool
with 20-25 different top level categories, and growing all the time
team dynamics:
- all is well
