It started as a very traditional waterfall project, with a lengthy period of requirements gathering and analysis.  The implementation proved somewhat harder than expected and after 3 years of trying we embarked on a program of IVF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My poor wife did all the hard work, right up to the point of egg collection and fertilisation, only for us to then fall pregnant &#8216;<em>the old fashioned way<\/em>&#8216;, before they had chance to implant an embryo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So from that point on we transitioned quite rapidly from waterfall to an agile methodology culminating in this, the first release, although it was still delivered a little late!  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this post-rollout support period, in the brief periods between providing inputs and dealing with outputs, I&#8217;m hoping and intending to find time to spend on my blog as well as duget and other projects.  Indeed, the overdue nature of this delivery was something I took advantage of over the past 2 weeks. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap wp-block-paragraph\">It may seem odd to be talking about having more time with a new arrival in the family, but here in NZ working mums get 22 weeks &#8216;paid&#8217; maternity leave and they are able to transfer some or all of that to their partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our circumstances it made sense to transfer it all to me and so I am currently on 22 weeks parental leave, blessed to be spending my time with one tiny little person who on his own I expect will be perhaps just as demanding as the entire team of 38 (yes, thirty eight!) that I was leading up until recently!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">[Estimated Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes]<\/span><\/span>Nothing to do with duget, this is a much more personal post, but though it does (or did) involve a lot of pushing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[18,1],"tags":[336],"class_list":["post-2915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogging","category-general","tag-personal"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1TKYv-L1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deltics.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deltics.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deltics.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltics.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltics.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2915"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltics.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2915\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2995,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltics.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2915\/revisions\/2995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deltics.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltics.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltics.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
