=== New Strategic decision about "Holistic approach to IT and Web systems" approved by Simon ===
+
-
 
+
-
IT Support coordination will be a responsibility of "Product and Support team".
+
-
It is a change because up until now they handled only CT2 support.
+
-
 
+
-
Disadvantages:
+
-
* additional responsibility that requires time
+
-
* lack of knowledge and experience
+
-
** Tira is strongly qualified (BS in Comp Sci; Master in Info Management Systems; Network certification)
+
-
** Tracie and Denise are beginners in IT
+
-
 
+
-
Advantages:
+
-
* increased value to Jaguar and Market = increased job security
+
-
* opportunity to gain new knowledge
+
-
* opportunity for Holistic approach (treating IT and CT2 as a whole, not fragmented); examples:
+
-
** full vision and control over user/systems interactions and work flows
+
-
** more services could be integrated into CT2/Cloud like web folders;
+
-
** integration between CT2 and non CT2 system like Sugar and CT2
+
-
 
+
-
Transition agenda:
+
-
* phase 1 to be completed by the end of March
+
-
* Jaguar IT support knowledge exchange (KE)
+
-
**2a IT documentation: [[blog11]], [[notes11]], wiki IT category
+
-
**2b regular KEs
+
-
* Career plan for BAs:
+
-
** agreement on responsibilities, goals and developmental stages
+
-
** Formal IT training

Upper management brought to my attention that number of complex and critical bugs is increasing.
+
-
 
+
-
This makes experience of end users very painful and leads to a lot of frustration on the part of our clients.
+
-
 
+
-
We need to resolve this rapidly.
+
-
 
+
-
I believe that this happens due to the following reasons:
+
-
 
+
-
* growing list of new features increased complexity
+
-
* we are introducing new changes rapidly and without careful analysis
+
-
* most people on our team have only minimal understanding of CT2 components outside of components they "own"
+
-
* not enough verbal communication between all members of the team particularly with developers
+
-
* non technical BAs and MOs make bad design decisions and force them into development
+
-
* SAa are doing often a poor job and creating analysis that has errors
+
-
* MO-BA-SA-Dev-QA-BA is too long and too linear (no cross communication or group communication)
+
-
 
+

How to resolve this
