 | I feel extremely frustrated over a project that my boss has given me.
I can’t say much, except that it is a CTM database/system, for the education industry.
I have no experience or background in IT or database area, I studied logistics.
My boss asked me to undertake the project as project coordinator and I undertook it on, since who would say “no” to the boss.
As the time goes on, the project ran into many difficulties.
One of the main issues was the vendor and data migration.
There was very poor collection of requirements by the vendor and the vendor didn’t really bother to understand the business processes and I had to go through a lot of trouble over the data migration.
The vendor is a small SME that sells commercial-off-the shelf system but I sometimes wonder is they know what they are doing.
This project was supposed to last from Jan last year to end of last year.
As of now, the system has not gone “live” and there are still a whole lot of programming errors.
In particular, it is the accounting and finance modules, where I faced a lot of problems.
I did not study accountancy and finance and have absolutely no knowledge on this field.
The accounting and finance department just simply refuses to give any advice and feedback on how they want the modules to suit their processes.
I have explained to my boss that I should not be in the position of designing the accounting and finance modules.
I have cc my boss in all email correspondences and given her all the feedback, both verbally and written that the vendor is doing a very poor job.
My boss just seems to side with the vendor and assured me that it is not my fault and certain parts of the project but now, again, she is asking me for a status feedback, as if I can solved all the problems, when I sometimes am simply not receiving political and logistical support .
I feel very upset and am wondering what to do.
I really feel like giving up. Should I just ignore my boss? There is nobody higher than my boss that I can go to.
I have given all the feedback I can give and talked to the vendor both nicely and firmly, nothing works.
There is no one in the company whom can help me.
There are only 15 people in the company.
