The Friday go-live everyone wants except you

Il go-live di venerdì che tutti vogliono tranne te · Project Management · Advanced

The case

The new system goes to production this week and the sponsor announced the go-live for Friday: a date communicated upward, symbolic (quarter close), with the vendor having planned its technicians accordingly. You, coordinating the project, know what it means: if something goes wrong, the first full day of operation is Monday, with the weekend in between, vendor support at reduced capacity and users discovering problems all at once on Monday morning. Testing went well but two minor defects are still open, and data migration needs an eight-hour window. Moving to Monday or Tuesday strikes everyone as nitpicking: the date has been Friday for weeks. How do you play it?

Il nuovo sistema va in produzione questa settimana e lo sponsor ha annunciato il go-live per venerdì: data comunicata al vertice, simbolica (chiusura del trimestre), con il fornitore che ha pianificato i tecnici di conseguenza. Tu, che coordini il progetto, sai cosa significa: se qualcosa va storto, il primo giorno pieno di esercizio è lunedì, con il weekend in mezzo, il supporto del fornitore a regime ridotto e gli utenti che scopriranno i problemi tutti insieme lunedì mattina. Il collaudo è andato bene ma due difetti minori sono ancora aperti, e la migrazione dati richiede otto ore di finestra. Spostare a lunedì o martedì sembra a tutti una pignoleria: la data è venerdì da settimane. Come giochi la questione?
