In a recent project (source: Project Connections, 2010), a company had contracted with an outside software developer (vendor) to provide software code (software program) that would be used daily by customers. On that first main project with the vendor, problems were encountered due to fast-moving schedules, early misunderstandings on requirements, management changes in the middle, and some unreliable performance to deadlines.
As the team approached time to release the code for final QA prior to release, the functionality of the system they delivered was not all that we had wanted or needed. But time was short and the company moved
into testing this first release.
The outside developer was of course needed to support the in-house software team
during testing, with fast turnaround on any remaining bugs. Unfortunately, the issues and difficulties working together on the first development cycle had already created a strained relationship. By the time the teams were ready for Validation testing (an important step in software development to see that it works), the team environment was rife with tension, some finger-pointing and scape-goating, and general
unpleasantness.
In this difficult environment came the discovery, during QA testing, of a software bug that would cause horrible problems in certain customer usage scenarios. The software code in question was scheduled for its first deployment and customer use in just one month. An internal memo describing this state of affairs was circulated, and a low, rumbling panic began in the technical corners of the company.
Political considerations kept the project in limbo for another two weeks after the memo was published. Meetings with the vendor’s high-level management finally resulted in the assembly of an augmented project team to tackle the problem fast. By then, the teams had 12 days to design, complete, test, and implement the needed software code changes.
