Lessons learnt from internet launches

The following is a list of lessons learnt during my Internet projects: Never change the content few days before going live, worst if the content menu is different from the actual content Ensure ports to search applications are open as this may not be evident when testing in the uat environment Ensure the vendor or system integrator is well versed with the software When there is a need to interface with another application, it is vital for the project teams to constantly work out the necessary interfacing task such as data migration, data population, data cleaning requirement.
