Challenges
• Library reorganization!– New administration / new priorities– Split DRS team– Different reporting structure
• Staff attrition• Projects competing for the same resources• Size of project

Lessons Learned
• Deadlines vs. functionality• Decide what matters to you and what doesn’t– Be flexible especially where it doesn’t matter
• Need clear roles & responsibilities• People need to be migrated too

Lessons Learned
• Have to have support & champions in higher administration
• If you don’t broadly report status people will make their own assumptions
