Come for the Ride!

This web project has officially been in the works for over 4 months now.  It’s been my experience that whether you have a team of 1 or a team of 60, whether you have a budget of millions or zero, programming always needs padding time; and then some.

Fortunately for us, in the grand scheme of things, we are only about two weeks off from where I wanted to be.  In theory, I guess that means we still have a lot of padding time though it would be my preference not to use it.

The current plan is to be ready for testing within the next 4-6 weeks and to outsource what’s left of the tasks so we can hit that target.  Some have suggested this is a dangerous route and while I don’t disagree, I do have a clear vision and an optimistic view.  Again, programming will require some padding but hopefully with three people interviewing various teams, we will pick the right one to back us.
