Where are we to date…
We are now in the end of Sprint 5 of the project delivery, which marks the official end of the build phase, and the start of UAT phase (see Timeline & Milestones).
Sprint 5 has been an extra sprint planned to absorb four main things :
the challenges related to integration and clarification required for Agreement management
continuing migration of the system from Quote component to Agreement component
managing the additional changes (minor) that have been included by the valio Team in the scope
and unclarified requirements changes.
No direct impact on the overall project as the SAP project has been delayed.
We are a little behind on target but this is normal for where we are and the expectation is we will deliver a first version before end of 2026, and a full deployment by January 2026.
- We decided to carry on implementing the remaining user stories and additional changes in parallel of the UAT phase, in order not to impat the initial plan.
An additional Soft Go Live period is planned to focus on limited number of sales users to :
Test the system in a pilot phase.
Anticipate any major issues before the Go live (planned for )

a Deployement to the UAT environement is scheduled to make sure that all validated user stories and changes are available to test.
Project budget is on target as Soft Go Live and the additioanl chage requests are to be budget based on time and meterial basis and currently we don't foresee any major over consumption du to these changes.
