The other day at work an interesting thing happened. I was working with someone else in order to troubleshoot an issue with pushing some software out to our live site. I had tested my changes on my local machine as well as the test site. So we rolled things out to an external test site so our client could preview the changes before we flipped the final switch. Drum roll please …

Ask .. “What Changed?
Ok this may sound simple. It may seem like a “duh” moment. However, we’ve all been there, right? The pressure is freakin’ ON .. and .. either your an employee or heaven-forbid, an even more expendable consultant, but the world is on fire, mountains are crumbling and folks ranting. The guy or gal who last worked on this project is either dead and buried or “called in sick” and you’re lost. Everyone is looking at you saying, “Well it worked when I went home last night! How soon can we get this {insert name of the unbelievably important application here} back up and running??!?!”
