JOSEE DUFOURIT Programme Manager| WorldlineSavigny Sur Orge, ., France
My customer went through a huge internal organizational change and ALL the project team I worked with during the first 8 months of the project have been replaced. All. From the Programme head to test team. All of them are gone and replaced by newcomers.
So... I'm facing a customer project team that has no idea of what we built in 8 months and can rely only on the requirements "hardcoded" in the contract to say if what we delivered is what was expected. They have a vague idea of what our software should do, and they are not (yet?) close to their own customers (those who have expectations on how the solution should work).
The project should resume in September and I intend to review all its organization, jointly with the new customer PM so we both agree on the way forward, tweak existing processes that do not satisfy the project anymore, etc... Rebaselining of schedule and all plans should also be done together.
My questions... Before trying to change/replan/restart, am I forgetting something? In your view, should I do things any other way? Saving Changes...
