The delivery machine has kicked up a gear. Ten JAS tickets moved to Done in the week since 9 July — the biggest single-week Done count on the project so far. Highlights: JAS-47 (Header design), JAS-46 (Mini-cart logged-in), JAS-48 (Order Success page), JAS-41 (Trade Account Section), JAS-39 (PLP redirect unauthenticated to login), and a batch of CMS pages: JAS-52 Privacy, JAS-49 Contact Us, JAS-51 Filter Size. Three more sit at Ready for Code Review — JAS-60 Maintenance page, JAS-59 Forgot Password, JAS-50 T&Cs — all Nathan/Umair.
JAS-53 (Restrict admin save in Magento) was closed on 14 Jul — a preventive safety net Luke and Nathan agreed on Slack 10 Jul to stop admin users breaking the NVision sync by editing categories, products or attributes directly. Small module, real protection. JAS-42 (Blog list) came back from QAT Failed and is now Ready for UA alongside JAS-43 (Blog view) — Nathan cleared both on 8 Jul.
Holly's Project-to-Date Hours Report landed at 10:37 today (16 Jul) — 347h 52m across 10 weeks, ~47–64% of the 540–735 hr budget, £34,787 delivered @ £750/day. Report explicitly flags JAS-7 Core Theme UX & Design (13.4 days used / 10–13 day estimate, 103–134%) and JAS-6 UX Research (3.0 days used / 3 day estimate, 102%) as over budget — Holly's note: "Any further design work needs a change request" and "No further time should be logged without a billing conversation". JAS-29 PM (9.2 days / 8–12) is at-budget and needs watching.
Category-structure blocker is progressing but has spawned a wider blocked cluster. Nathan/Colin/Luuk call happened 9 Jul as planned. Nathan reports "main blocker is just the category structure which we will have a call about"; Luuk confirmed "BC created data only" for the sync. Categories are being sorted this week. But the cluster of tasks depending on that structure now includes 7 Blocked tickets — the original JAS-30 (Mega Menu) and JAS-22 (PLP epic), plus the newer JAS-54 / JAS-55 / JAS-56 (homepage widgets + custom-size form), JAS-44 (Knowledge/Support page), JAS-58 (Login page bug) and JAS-36 (Delivery Schedules).
Client comms this week: Kathryn welcomed Holly back on 14 Jul. Nathan pressed for a sprint plan session for 15 Jul which happened. Holly cancelled the 15 Jul Colin call — emailed him Tuesday: "it doesn't look like the call will be needed tomorrow". Luuk on holiday next week (w/c 20 Jul) — Nathan flagged the need to reach alternative Nvision contacts for that window.
Toggl: 347h 52m across 8 contributors (up from 297.25 on 9 July — +50.5 hrs in 7 days, ~7 hrs/day project-wide). Value delivered: £34,787 @ £750/day. Project is ~47–64% through the 540–735 hr budget range; calendar elapsed is 32% (77 of 245 days). Burn now tracking calendar within a few points — the design frontload is amortising as build activity dominates.
| Metric | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Project budget (per Hours Tracker) | 540–735 hrs | 72–98 days @ 7.5h. Float still uninstrumented. |
| Hours logged to date | 347h 52m (46.4 days) | Toggl across 8 contributors. ~47–64% of budget burned. +50.5 hrs since 9 Jul (~7 hrs/day project-wide). Value: £34,787 @ £750/day. |
