Where last week I couldn’t remember many of the bad things about the project I was returning to… they slowly came back to me during the first meeting on Tuesday… At some point I was really thinking to myself: “What was I thinking to return here?!”. Especially when they mentioned that the work we had to do had to be “seamless” for the customer. Seamless had been the keyword in the last project I did at Ericsson. At the start of the project Ericsson was promised a seamless migration. But from day one it would turn out to be anything but seamless… And the word turned out to hunt us throughout the project. As with every little issue we raised, it became less and less seamless, finally resulting in a huge amount of extra work for the customer and something as far from seamless as you ever could imagine! And now they mentioned the same thing again… You would think people would learn from the mistakes in the past, but no no no no, not here! :-)
Good thing is that the project won’t be as complex as the last one. Or at least I will try and do everything that is within my powers to keep it as simple as possible! And luckily being back in Stockholm is truely great fun again! Almost felt like going home when I arrived here on Monday evening! Strange but true. Things just feel so familiar again… So with seeing so many great people here again, and the many more I still have to go meet up with I am sure I will have great time here again! :-)
