Big Step Forward – No Thanks to Me
This morning it looks like we were able to run all of North America through the UAT system with a co-worker's changes to Salesforce, and that's a huge step forward - but it wouldn't have happened if it had been up to me. I was thinking it was too big a jump to try and take - to go from 27 divisions to 170+ in one night. I would have done it in a couple of nights. But it worked. In spite of me.
Good experience for me - to be vocal and wrong. I've already apologized to the guy running the test and he laughed… good for me. I'll mention it again in stand-up, and say I was wrong. I want to do it as it drives home the idea that I don't know everything.
But it's a big step. About 5 hours and all of North America. We should be able to get it down from there, but even if we can't, it's workable, and that's a huge win.
