Our module was supposed to go live after months of UAT… and of course, as usual, there were lot of last minute things to do. Meeting was called for. It was attended by heads of many teams from client side, project coordinator, senior manager and us.
I just happened to attend that meeting as it was a high level decision making meeting for GO Live. Various things came up and one that was the sticking point was the OAT. I swear I knew what is UAT and SIT but never heard about OAT. I just assumed it has to be Operations Acceptance Test.
Suddenly the senior manager shouted “Which Idiot Planned it”… “Who is that Idiot…? I want to Know”… No one answered her. No one seemed bothered. None got offended with the words she used. Just a passive look from every one of them.
