Migration Response Team prepared for any emergency

Scrum dictates that nothing shall impede the project goals. The job of the Scrum Master is to insure that such impediments do not interfere with promised deliveries. Between now and July 31st, the Development Team's Job One is making sure that 90% of our customer base has the base functionality required to migrate from Decade Envision to Decade EnvisionConnect.

Erteam_2 San Bernardino County is the largest county in the contiguous United States by area. Like most environmental health agencies in large counties, San Bernardino County Environmental Health Services uses Envision to manage everything. San Bernardino County has their own goals. They wish to be be the first Envision customer to use EnvisionConnect to conduct CalCode inspections in the fieldand they can't wait until July 31st.

Luckily for us, Scrum is a process designed to expect and react to change.

Today, professionals from all Decade Software departments meet to form a splinter groupa San Bernardino Migration Emergency Response Team—that will be ready for action when SBCDEH completes their migration on July 2nd. Until someone shoots that guy Murphy and repeals his law, we know something will go wrong. Our goal is to be ready to react and rectify the problem immediately with minimal impact to the customer.

Watch this weblog to see what happens. I have said before that this is a very exciting time to be at this company. It becomes moreso everyday.
