Question
You’re leading a project to migrate customer data (biographical, billing, and orders) from the legacy system to an off-the-shelf product sold by MicroTech. The project was going well, but a key programmer recently informed you that her manager needs her to work on a budget initiative, and her availability for project work will be reduced by 40% effective immediately. You work in a functional organizational structure, which means that your power to assign resources is limited. How do you plan to handle this situation? How will you approach the functional manager about making sure the programmer is available the hours you were promised?
Explanation / Answer
As I am leading a project of migration from legacy system to Micro Tech product which involves multiple programming and handling of huge databases.
In between if any key programmer leaves/reduces it effort towards my migration project it will result into longer delay of migration of project or may be complete stuck down as programmer can not put 100 % effort and mind work in my project so in this situation I would go to functional manager and speak with him for following problems if that programmer leaves :
Risk of shut down of project : Project might shut down as we have few programmers for handling legacy system.
Long Delay : Project could lead to long delay resulting into financial fines from Micro Tech
Incomplete Migration
Loss of documentation work
Programming Deadlock
I will try to convince that multiple risks are involed like I described above to migration project if key programmer could not put into 100% effort as promised and some unknown risks of development/testing could also trigger.
