🎯 Executive Summary

Overall health: Not assessed.
Traffic light: 🟡

This week's headline:
Multiple critical projects (Boukili migration, ONFR livefeed, OTT launch) face blockers and pending decisions that affect delivery schedules and vendor compliance.


Wins 🏆

  • “Setfocus” trigger in Storyline completed (on standby).
  • ONFR livefeed testing to use Haywire feed; second Chorus URL deferred.
  • SPOF Jobsupervision solution approved; phased rollout begins with ONFR.
  • OTT searchresult ranking changes implemented; device testing underway.
  • Decision to retain WordPress on current site and keep WP Engine as host.
  • ZIPtoIdéllo publishing workflow defined (ticket → ZIP → Hélène).
  • CTO approved exploratory discussion with Lunii.
  • Code freeze planned after fixing identified issues; phase2 isolated Boukili.

Risks ⚠️

  • Storyline “setfocus” compatibility with JAWS unknown → possible product delay.
  • CRTC report lacks clarity on retroactivity, content, and publication location; deadline 5Oct pending.
  • Boukiliv3 not ready; testing schedule launched.
  • Variable episode lengths may cause incorrect JWP recording stops → manual fixes needed.
  • Subtitles not displaying for test videos (missing collection association).
  • JWP ingest point & billing unclear for secondary feed; risk of unexpected fees.
  • No staging server for supervisionsolution testing → production issues possible.
  • Boukili production DB & Contentful API access unresolved, blocking full integration.
  • Podcast automation still depends on Jira API connection.
  • Geoblocking for TFO/Idéllo cannot be removed without release → legal compliance risk.
  • Mogador synchronization complexity; sourceoftruth undefined, possible project removal.
  • USbased vendor compliance (JWP, WP Engine, Algolia) under policy review.
  • OTT delivery at risk of missing liveevent deadline; may require weekend release.
  • QA capacity limited to one resource across four sites → testing delays.
  • FirebasetoAWS migration (Boukili) blocked by datamigration reliability and Salesforce regressions; production release cancelled.

Projects 📁

Project Status Next Milestone Blocker
Boukiliv3 Testing started Begin version3 testing (this week) Access to production DB & Contentful API; migration datavalidation issues
Storyline “setfocus” Completed, on standby Verify JAWS compatibility Compatibility unknown
ONFR livefeed Haywire feed selected for tests Endtoend broadcast test (10h start) JWP ingestpoint behavior & billing clarification
Job supervision solution Approved, phased rollout Deploy cron checks on ONFR No staging server for testing
OTT searchresult ranking Changes applied Complete multidevice testing (incl. AppleTV zoom) OTT testing timeline tight; risk to live event
WordPress site Hosting decision retained Ongoing maintenance None reported
ZIPtoIdéllo workflow Defined Start processing tickets after 12Oct None reported
Lunii collaboration Approved for exploratory talk Present to CEO Decision pending CEO review
Mogador sync Discussion scheduled 16Sept Resolve synchronization approach Complexity & lack of sourceoftruth

Vendors 🤝

  • JWP: Billing model for secondary feed unclear; ingestpoint behavior under review.
  • WP Engine: Hosting retained; no immediate issues.
  • Algolia: Regression review pending (Trings invoice unblocked).
  • USbased vendors (JWP, WP Engine, Algolia) under compliance review per policy.

Decisions Made

  • Keep Storyline “setfocus” on standby until screenreader compatibility confirmed.
  • Use Haywire feed for ONFR testing; defer second Chorus URL.
  • Deploy supervision checks first on ONFR, then Idéllo, then TFO.
  • Maintain JWP 24/7 feed unchanged; manage secondary test feed manually.
  • Preserve Boukili on a dedicated VM; postpone API integration.
  • Retain WordPress on current site with WP Engine hosting.
  • Implement ZIPtoIdéllo workflow with ticketbased handoff to Hélène (start12Oct).
  • Approve exploratory Lunii discussion with CEO.
  • Code freeze after fixing identified issues; isolate phase2 work.

Decisions Needed

  • Clarify CRTC report requirements (retroactivity, content, location) with PierreOlivier.
  • Confirm JWP ingestpoint behavior and any secondaryfeed fees.
  • Decide if a second Corus URL will ever be purchased.
  • Determine final handling of ONFR liveevent streams (retain JWP vs. replace).
  • Approve Jiraform design for automated podcastchain requests (feasibility with Marc).
  • Resolve geoblocking removal for TFO/Idéllo (legal compliance).
  • Finalize Mogador synchronization approach or project removal.
  • Choose which of the four technical subjects (retry, Firebase lockout, updatemessage migration, Contentful version control) to include in next Boukili build.
  • Confirm migrationforced strategy for multidevice users and communication plan.
  • Approve additional QA resources or temporary reinforcement.

Top Priorities Next Week

  1. Send clarification email to CRTC and follow up with PierreOlivier.
  2. Begin Boukiliv3 testing and map productionDB fields.
  3. Execute endtoend ONFR broadcast test and add supervision cron entries.
  4. Verify JWP secondaryfeed billing and ingestpoint details.
  5. Create test collection in JWP and confirm subtitle display.
  6. Conduct OTT multidevice testing (including AppleTV zoom) for signoff.
  7. Prepare ZIPtoIdéllo tickets (ready for 12Oct start).
