We are approaching our first deliverable out of the new PC Guardian office in Williamsburg. It isn't "my" project although I have been involved significantly on the periphery to help with sticky issues. The developers who are working on this project are all very talented but most of them are relative green, and for them, this is the first large scale project they have ever worked on. This makes for interesting observations.
I noticed this last week a truth that seems universal with all software development projects. No matter how much time one has to complete a project, there is always a fair amount of scrambling right at the end. We had one sticky issue that was solved this morning resulting in almost all of the red boxes on our test matrix to go away. Good job guys!
