Edit Q&A #5

Recommended Answer

In early 2021, I read an article that Microsoft was ending support for Internet Explorer by mid-2022. I checked our product roadmaps and realized none of them had a plan to address this — we had dependencies on IE across all our applications.

I contacted the risk and compliance team. They had it on their radar, but planned to start in early 2022 — which was too late. We needed to act immediately.

I organized a risk assessment meeting with compliance and senior Product Owners to walk through the timeline gap and what we'd lose if we didn't move fast. The meeting went well. I incorporated feedback and brought a formal plan to senior leadership, showing the cost of delay and the benefit of moving it up to 2021. They approved it immediately and added browser compatibility to every product roadmap for 2021.

By end of 2021, all products had completed the IE migration. Our clients were updated by early February 2022 — well before Microsoft's deadline. We avoided potential disruptions and client frustration. I was recognized with an award for identifying and driving this proactively.
