Shopware Migration

Appearance

Executive Summary ​

  • New BU boards launched: CE Shopware (216/348), Domain API (99/205), and ECMD (12/24) now tracking with 97 combined items already in progress — major visibility improvement
  • Arrow repos remain frozen on paper: Zero ticket movement across all Arrow workstreams for third consecutive week, despite 100 supergraph commits from 8 authors — tracking disconnect persists
  • SXSW platform accelerating: +17 stories completed (292/712, 41%), with scope expanding by only 4 stories — healthier ratio than previous weeks
  • CI/CD blocker unchanged: Same 6 deployment tickets blocking Arrow Shopware environments; Gemaire remains only BU in active development
  • Data migration begins: Peirce Phelps Customers moved from NYS to WIP — first concrete migration progress after weeks of "not started"

1. Shopware Platform - SXSW Initiatives ​

Current State: 292/712 stories complete (41%)

Week-over-Week: +17 stories completed, +4 scope expansion (vs. +21 stories/+21 scope last week)

Progress continues at a steady clip. The smaller scope expansion (4 vs. 21) suggests better requirements stability. Pipeline shows 81 items in review (down from 85 last week), indicating reviews are clearing at a reasonable pace.

By Initiative:

  • Infrastructure & Architecture: 49/102 stories (48%) — behind other areas
  • Cart & Checkout: 40/135 (30%) — still the weakest area, critical path item
  • Account Management: 35/111 (32%)
  • Integrations: 32/96 (33%)
  • Authentication: 26/33 (79%) — nearly done

Pipeline Health: 14 items in active development remains concerningly low for 712 total scope. With 228 items still in Discovery, the funnel needs acceleration to sustain current velocity.

Critical Blockers (unchanged from last week):

  • SXSW-86 (Domain Schema Design) still blocking 3 items, assigned to Adrian Pescar (changed from Paul Briscoe)
  • SXSW-91 (Testing) unassigned, blocking 2 items
  • 10 blocked tickets (down from 16 last week) — small improvement

2. New BU Boards - Major Visibility Gain ​

This week introduces three new tracking boards providing much-needed visibility into BU-specific work:

CE Shopware (CESW): 216/348 stories complete (62%)

  • 39 items in progress across 16 epics
  • Active work on: Branch (17/19), Conduit (6/7), NotificationSystem (4/6), Pricing (3/5)
  • 132 open items remaining
  • Strong foundation work evident (Auth0, Shipping, SSO mostly complete)

Domain API (W1DA): 99/205 stories complete (48%)

  • 20 items in progress
  • Key work: Isolate BU schemas (5/6), Product Discovery (8/9), Split Core Shopware Module (4/12)
  • 106 open items

ECMD Shopware (ECMDSW): 12/24 stories complete (50%)

  • 11 items in progress — nearly all active work
  • Infrastructure (5/13), Catalog (4/5), Account Management (2/2 done)
  • Only 12 open items — smallest board but high completion rate

Gemaire Shopware (GSHOP): 0/0 — empty board

Analysis: These boards explain where Arrow's "missing" work has been. The 97 combined in-progress items (39+20+11) represent significant active development that wasn't visible in our prior tracking scope. This resolves the mystery of high commit volume with zero ticket movement.

3. Arrow - Domain API / Graph ​

Current State: 51/63 stories complete (81%)

Week-over-Week: Zero movement for third consecutive week on this board

Repository Activity: 100 commits, 8 unique authors, 191 active branches — highest activity level yet

What's Really Happening: The W1DA board (tracked above) shows where the work is. Recent commits focus on:

Remaining on ARROW Board: AHRI data integration, company user data, permissions checks, linked accounts — 12 stories that appear orphaned from active development.

Action Required: Reconcile ARROW board with W1DA board. Many "remaining" stories may already be complete under different ticket numbers.

4. Arrow - Frontend / Open Components ​

Current State: 376/426 stories complete (88%)

Week-over-Week: Zero movement for third consecutive week

Repository Activity: 41 commits from 3 authors (Pablo Romero, Lino Rallo)

Recent work on:

Analysis: Heavy infrastructure modernization underway. The 50 remaining stories (Order Approvals, AHRI PDP, Compare, etc.) are customer-facing features waiting on foundation work to complete.

Near-Complete Items (should close soon):

  • OC - Shopping Lists: 69/71 (97%)
  • OC - Warranty: 20/23 (87%)
  • Open Components: 70/73 (96%)

5. Arrow - Infrastructure / Cross-cutting ​

Current State: 78/101 stories complete (77%)

Week-over-Week: No movement

Active work visible in commits but not reflected in tickets:

  • Demo Environment Bugs: 23/28
  • Performance Tuning: 12/18
  • Gemaire Support: 4/6

Critical Blocker Unchanged: The 6 CI/CD deployment tickets (SXSW-484–489) assigned to Chris Nitchie remain unresolved. This is week 3+ of this blocker.

6. BU Environment Deployment ​

Arrow Shopware Environments — The Critical Blocker:

  • 6 of 7 BUs show "CI/CD Blocked" status (unchanged)
  • Only Gemaire in "Active Development"
  • All blocked BUs stuck at Local/Ordin WIP
  • Blocker tickets: SXSW-484 (Carrier), 485 (Peirce), 486 (LATAM), 487 (Homans), 488 (ECMD), 489 (Baker)

Shopware Core Environments: All 7 BUs remain "Paused" at Local/Ordin Done — no change for weeks.

Arrow Magento Environments: All progressing through Ordin WIP; Gemaire and Carrier Enterprise advancing to Staging.

Impact: Without resolving the CI/CD blocker, 6 BUs cannot reach Staging, blocking all downstream testing, migration validation, and UAT work.

7. BU Frontend Implementation ​

Peirce Phelps: 7/8 areas complete — only Account in WIP (unchanged from last week)

Gemaire & Carrier Enterprise: All 8 areas in WIP (unchanged)

All Others: Not yet started

Repository Activity: 41 frontend commits align with Peirce/Gemaire work, though tickets lag behind actual progress.

8. Data Migration ​

First Real Progress: Peirce Phelps Customers moved from NYS to WIP — the first tangible migration work after weeks of "not started" across all categories.

Remaining: All other BUs and all other categories (Companies, Products, Orders, CMS, Lists) still show NYS.

Risk: With only one category in progress across all 7 BUs, data migration represents a significant schedule risk. Migration tooling development should be parallelized across more BUs and categories immediately.

9. Go-Live Readiness ​
