Have you ever seen a gap in your organization and just transitioned into that role?

Yesterday we had a botched release and it was due to limited process and a poor communication plan. I wrote up a way to execute with less risk and higher rate of success (I've done this a lot in my career) and now I've been tasked to manage all software projects on our team.

From requirements to testing - delivery. It's more than just requirements, which is fine with me and takes away some of my technical task which is fine as well. After creating 200 reports it gets kind of old, but delivering project after project and with software is my favorite.

So i thought I would share some good news with the board.

That great to hear! You were proactive about addressing an issue outside of your own responsibilities and management recognized it. Whether or not it is a lateral promotion is another story. But that is how I came into my current position I started as a Network Tech and seen that the network was in disarray. Our network was managed by an outside consultant which was crap. I assessed the need and found a resolution and we already had the equipment. I restructured the Network and Voip addressing the issues. Now I am responsible for the entire Network/Security/Voip infrastructure.
