On the way to work I realized that the real Mission Impossible is my current undertaking.
If I would get this task from my boss I would get any number of great reasons why this can not be done and why I specifically do not have to do it. Psychology is a funny thing.
So why am I doing this?
- interesting;
- just the kind of work I was dreaming of and talking of - analysis; and it is the only area in SW Dev that (I think) I can contribute from my experience in my original profession. So something I really wanted to do for long time. I thought that the right way would be joining some SW-HW team, but who knows.
- and yes, I know that this is a temporary assignment, at most in 4 months it will be over and I'll have a long proper vacation - no matter what!
Later in the day
I'm not easy with what K. defined as a scope of this research - only APG or core development, with no relation to Deliveries that are doing customization. This reduces the learning work to do, but also puts the ROI in danger. After all the whole idea is about mass customization and I doubt we can prove it pays without looking at customization per se.
