Day 1 Assessment

1/20

1. Today is Friday 12 June. The scheduling tool goes live Monday 3 August, a date the ward's rota fixes. Forty ward clerks will key admissions data on it every shift; six department heads will pull one report a month. The ward's seat on the requirements group fell vacant in January and was never filled; the heads signed the requirements in March. The build has been in test since 5 June. UAT starts Monday 29 June, scripted from the signed requirements, with a participant list of the six heads and two IT staff. Until UAT the team absorbs changes inside the sprint; the UAT plan is under configuration control, and changes to it take the change board a median of 15 working days. What is the best use of the time before UAT?

Take a change request to the board now to add ward clerks to the UAT participant list. Have the six department heads work a shift's admissions through the build next week, and note what they meet. Sit with ward clerks while they work a day's admissions on the current build, and note what breaks. Book ward-clerk training in the weeks before go-live so the forty clerks are ready to work the tool on 3 August.
