I name this ship....

We've launched.

It's been a long and winding road, and actually the road is never ending but we are there.

In the background

Now we've started to focus our attention on the fluffy stuff it's easy to forget the other work that's going on.

Choose-O-Tron-O-Matic Explorer user experience is finished, Dealer Locator specification is starting, data modelling for Features and Specs is on-going, technical specifications are emerging.

A project update has been delievered to colleagues in France, Germany, Spain, FCSD. Follow up meetings are being arranged where necessary.

The teams aren't idle. In fact things are a little stressful at times, so I went and bought my own Stress Reduction Kit.

A trip to Germany

I had a really productive meeting with the Ford Germany, Wunderman Germany, FCSD Europe.

They had done a lot of preparation for the meeting which is great because all of that hard work can be fed directly into the Wunderman central team's work.

Much of the requirements that were very detailed were done from a web author's point of view. The great news was that most of the requirements are already planned.

I also had the opportunity to present some of Brendan's presentation that was used in EuroDisney. The feeling I got was that my audience were really pleased with the plans we have in place for the new system.
