A Milestone Achieved...

30th September 2011, it was a monumental day for me... it was the day of completion of the most interesting project of my career ... :-) many people would think it rather amusing that how can one regard the significance of days according to her projects, but that’s the way it has always been for me... many reasons were behind my formidable passion for this project, one of them being that it was my first project as a real team lead, otherwise before that I had been just toying with the idea... then, it was a whole technology shift for me and my team... finally, to add icing on the cake, I ended up getting rather satisfied with mine and my team's work; a satisfaction level that was very hard for me to achieve; as I’m hardly ever satisfied with my work...

I can’t say about the other stakeholders of this project, but can say about myself with surety that I’ve actually grown as this project progressed... I learned an endless array of things -both technical and non-technical- since this project commenced in April 2011....

During the project, sometimes I actually got hopeless or disappointed or simply tired by the continuous effort, but now, when I think of it, I don’t actually mind any of the late sittings or nights that I spent on researching for this project; I rather cherish them... as I don’t think that I will ever again get any likes of this project where you can work on whole new stack of BI suite, plus new tool for BPM; not to mention the rule engine that we explored in this project.. all tools being those that nobody in our team had ever heard of. .. and we actually had the luxury of time to learn them unlike the case with most of the projects...

Anyways, to cut the matters short... I’m happy so thought to right my thoughts down... It’s my personal happiness and my personal achievement regardless of feedback from my seniors... :p

I do hope to work in more challenging projects in future...
