Old Y2K project manager here. We had a multiyear project, found issues, fixed, and deployed fixes. Both hardware and software issues. I faced off against internal business, external clients, internal audit, internal compliance, and external regulators. We had IIRC nine potential failure dates including 2000-Feb-29. My ultimate project documentation required twenty 5 inch binders and a hand cart to deliver the package to our local CEO for sign off. Pretty sure he didn't read anything and simply just signed the cover page. We rocked the project, I passed all aggressive audits and earned myself a nice bonus that year for having a successful Y2k rollover. Then came 2000-Feb-29 and it happened, I had a risk management system hosted out of the UK that just didn't work. Had to file the system failure through to internal global management and domestic regulators. I was thrilled. First because that system owner had refused to conduct global integrated testing so I could blame the SO. Had the request, negotiation, and finally the outright refusal in writing. The failed system was relatively trivial domestically. Risk wasn't calculated one day on a global platform that and that risk didn't hit my local books. Ha ha sucks to be you. Most importantly, I was thrilled because I could point to the failure and say "see, that is what would have happened x100 if we hadn't nailed the project." It was a great example for all the assholes who bitched about the amount of money we spent.
