But we really had no choice so we just did our best. Ochie and I were paired together to work on one of the functional areas. In fairness, we were able to meet the Tuesday deadline and we were just hoping that what we did was right.
We had this big meeting yesterday with our onshore manager and other leads to review the estimates and that's when we got frustrated coz what we were instructed to do in the first place by this other manager of ours was not what was expected! Comparing to what was being presented by the other leads, ours was lacking so many details and we're pretty sure that we're dead once they look into what we've done. Our turn to present wasn't until today so we still had time to overhaul our estimates to get it right. But still, we really felt bad coz we were given the wrong direction to begin with! If we only knew what was expected of us from the start, then we would have made it right on the first shot.
We crammed yesterday to come up with better estimates and as what we were saying to each other, it's time to do some magic! Hahaha.
And thankfully, it worked! Our presentation earlier went really well and to think that we only had so little time to prepare for it, ours had the fewest review comments! We just had to do some minor revisions but overall, we got it right!
We were kidding each other when we first started working on this that maybe they thought we were really that good that we don't need much time to complete the task. And now, yeah, we ARE good! Hahaha!
Whew. What a great way to end the work week! :)
