Crosswalk

Iterative, coding conventions
Six month of our lives
Spent casting and recasting
The structure of the new environment
To bring forward history
And meet the new paradigm
Of an Org-centric model

Overhead and spreadsheets
Whiteboard and Picturetel
To reach consensus
On ever narrowing issues

Fund and Org and Activity
Oh, don’t forget Account
Characters with meaning
Numbers and letters
Six characters and
How many levels
For each

Links hard and soft
Moving before our eyes
Why does that link there now?
Freeze date oh thank God
You are near (or here).


About crosswalking the old accounting system to the new accounting system's nomenclature, back in spring 2001 (part of why I went to law school).
