Whats up these days? waiting…

Work work work…. wish I could say that… people who know me know that I was not built to sit and do nothing.. But thats exactly what I am doing since some weeks now.. some background…

The client here, a leading credit card company in US (Resume style :) ), wanted to start a huge number of projects. People from my unit were asked to come here and start working right away. I landed here,my project was supossed to start within a week.. Excited about the new project in a new technology, I waited..

We had a formal kick off for the project, I had a huge team (not reporting to me, but working with me). the Business analyst started the requirements. My work was to start when the Business requirements are converted to System requirements by the Tech Lead. That was to be done in another week.. I waited…

The next status meeting on thursday, the BSA reported that there was not much progress. Some architecture decisions were not taken when required. The Manager said “This is a huge program and we may have small delays like that, I will look into this and get the right people take decisions soon”. He does command a lot of respect within the organisation. I discussed with the BSA about what decisions are pending and it seemed it was all high level fundas. So I waited…

Then there was some other team which had a big issue in one of their releases, all resources redeployed to that project. No people available for our project till mid october.. So I am still waiting…
