Executive Summary

• SXSW posts its strongest run yet, but Core Platform Complete (2026-09-30) will be missed: +56 done (834/1088, 77%), after +46 and +52 the prior two weeks. 254 stories remain, and the Infrastructure initiative alone holds 100. At about 40 net stories/week the platform lands around early-to-mid November.
• CE's Deploying queue cleared, but production readiness hinges on today's load test: the queue is now median 0 days (max 4), against median 7 last week. CESW-2326 (CPU throttling) and CESW-2335 (autoscaling load test) are the live items. The week-of-9/28 CENA date is still unproven, and a third slip is plausible.
• Integration week delivered on the exec-summary Green calls: Cart, Checkout, PDP and PLP now read Done for Boilerplate, Homans, Peirce, ECMD, Baker and CE. The 9/22 gap is closed for six of seven BU columns. Gemaire is the exception, and Credit Card Processing is still WIP on four BUs.
• Gemaire and Baker are moving, but different constraints bind: Gemaire is at 36% (+15), held back by 17 blocked tickets and unstarted Cart, Checkout and Infrastructure epics. Baker is at 62% (+36), but scope grew +37, so remaining work did not shrink.
• ECMD stalled at +8 after a +32 and a 0: 255 stories remain, mostly Customer Portal (80 open).

1. Shopware Platform - SXSW Initiatives

Progress: 834/1088 (77%), +56 done and +16 total on the week. Over the month it is +166 done and +154 total. Per program notes, the scope growth is epic/initiative linking cleanup, not organic growth. 23 of 317 open issues remain unparented, so more may surface.

By initiative (stories):

• Complete: Planning (19/19) and Auth (11/11).
• Near done: Branch Mgmt 98%, Account Mgmt 88%, Catalog 87%, Data Migration 87%, Cart/Checkout 83%.
• Behind: Infrastructure 138/238 (58%), Integrations 103/157 (66%), Content Mgmt 15/24 (62%).
• Data Migration shows 0/4 epics closed even at 87% of stories, so epic rollup lags.

Risk: SXSW-1179 (Punchout Core JWT auth) has sat 55 days in Active Development. It feeds Punchout on CE, ECMD and Baker, and the Boilerplate Punchout column is Blocked. SXSW-1173 (In Review, 62 days) and SXSW-449 (Dev Complete, 42 days) are the oldest items. Rob Simmons merged main into the SXSW-449 branch on 9/29, so that one may finally land.

Landing soon: 25 tickets sit in Development Complete. Seven are CE Webscale staging/production tasks (SXSW-967 through SXSW-993) at 7 days, and they gate CE cutover. Robert Dumitru's credit-limit PRs (SXSW-1511, SXSW-1513) merged 9/29.

Timeline: at about 51 gross and about 40 net stories/week, the remaining 254 take 5-6+ weeks. Core Platform Complete (moved to 09-30 on 08-25) will not hold, so a formal re-baseline is needed.

6. CE Shopware (CESW)

Progress: 675/695 (97%), +15 done and +9 total. The remaining 20 are Punchout (19/27), Production Infrastructure (3/7), Data Migration Scripts (2 open), Import (1 open) and 5 unclassified.

Trend: last week's flagged risk, an aging Deploying queue, has resolved. All 13 Deploying tickets are 0-4 days old (median 0, p90 3), so tickets are cycling through to release. In Code Review, 6 tickets are Under Code Review (max 6 days), and In QA has 4 (median 6, max 21, CESW-970).

Risk:

• The CENA go-live moved to the week of 9/28 for two reasons: load testing and an ops-resource gap. Load testing is happening today. Blake and Emil pushed a burst of CESW-2326 fixes 9/28-9/29: CPU limit 500m to 1000m, memory to 1Gi, right-sized HPAs and a higher router timeout. The chart for CE prod (helm-deployment-ce-prod) merged.
• The Pre-Go-Live Checklist (CESW-2299) and Performance Optimization (CESW-2286) are open. The environment table still reads "production env provisioned, CE not yet cut over."
• Seven Blocked tickets are aging (CESW-1916 at 32 days, CESW-1283 and CESW-985 at 12).
• Watch the punchout stack (Scott's CESW-2195/2196/2235/2186 in Deploying, CESW-2149 in QA).

CE is largely decoupled from ongoing SXSW work. The one exception is the SXSW-989 to SXSW-993 Webscale production tickets, which have been in Development Complete for a week.

8. ECMD Shopware (ECMDSW)

Progress: 211/466 (45%), +8 done and 0 scope change. Monthly it is +81 done and +18 total. The last four weeks ran +41, +32, 0, +8, so this is a step down from earlier momentum.

Reallocation check: the Baker/ECMD team has been in place about 9 weeks, well past the 3-week test window. Monthly completions (+81) and visible commits (Damir 101 across repos) are now consistent. The board-vs-reality gap has closed. The remaining issue is throughput, not visibility.

Pipeline: 8 tickets are in Code Review. Proposals (ECMDSW-213/214/220/225) has been in review 5 days, and Saved Cart, Share Cart and Recipient View (ECMDSW-493/494/495) are fresh. Active Development has only 4 tickets, so the next pull should be Customer Portal.

Gaps: Customer Portal is 10/90, Launch Parity 0/7, Content Mgmt 0/9, Post-Shopware 0/12, Cash Account Application 0/9. Feature parity lists 114 Not Started against 58 Done, including Card Connect, Avatax and Staging/Production environments (staging Not Started, paused).

SXSW dependency: partly gated. Punchout (ECMDSW-33, blocked 19 days) traces to SXSW-1179. Content Management tracks SXSW's 62% initiative. Cart and account features are otherwise independent of SXSW.

9. Gemaire Shopware (GSHOP)

Progress: 41/115 (36%), +15 done and +4 total. Monthly it is +41 done, from 0% at 9/1. Velocity is 12-15/week for three weeks, so the remaining 74 stories project about 6-7 weeks if scope holds.

Epics:

• Done: 5.1 Header (8/8).
• Partial: 5.2 Search (2/6), 5.3 Branch Finder (1/4), 5.4 Minicart (1/5), Arrow Graph (28/39).
• Not started: 5.0 Sign-in (0/3), Cart and Checkout (0/1 each), Infrastructure (0/8), Core Features (0/8), Next.js/UI (0/3).
• Another 21 stories are unclassified.

Blockers: 17 tickets are BLOCKED. GSHOP-118 (Google MapID setup) holds 5.3 tests at 53 days, and GSHOP-144 (sign-in restores prior session) holds 5.0 at 55 days. GSHOP-165, GSHOP-164 and GSHOP-156 sit with Damian. GSHOP-139, GSHOP-136 and GSHOP-123 have been in QA 55 days. Fourteen tickets are in QA and nine in Code Review/Merge, so throughput exists if the blockers clear.

Repos: Yovany (34 commits) and Damian (10) are on gem-headless. Nikolay (9) plus Mikalai (21, mapped to CE) are shipping Gemaire subgraphs (GSHOP-229/230 merged 9/29), which suggests CE capacity is flowing here. Chris Nitchie's Helm work (SXSW-815) is the SXSW dependency for staging, and staging is WIP. The frontend parity matrix is all Not Started for Gemaire, which matches unstarted Cart/Checkout.

10. Baker Shopware (BSWM)

Progress: 263/422 (62%), +36 done and +37 total, so remaining work is flat at about 159. Monthly it is +58 done and +43 total, roughly +3.75 net stories/week burned. If scope does not freeze, Baker will not converge.

Epics:

• Done: Pricing (11/11), Order History (6/6), Pay Invoice (3/3), Boilerplate Integration (3/3), Infrastructure (1/1), Brands (2/2).
• Near done: Order Status 22/25, Header/Footer 40/43, Baker Headless App 27/29.
• Not started: StockPro (0/20), Order Approvals (0/9), AHRI (0/9), Content Mgmt (0/6), Product Compare (0/6), Punchout (0/5), Saved Carts and Proposals (0/2 each).

Risk: feature parity shows 41 rows as "No Ticket / Gap" (Live Chat, PRO roles/permissions and others). Turning those into tickets will add more scope. Data migration is Behind on Lists, Roles and Images, and staging is Not Started (paused).

Pipeline: only BSWM-411 and BSWM-392 (promo codes) are visible in QA, both at 0 days. The visible queue is thin against +36 done. This week the team was Tyler (41 commits, BSWM-193 quote location), Sebastian (28, BSWM-249/356/357 and config tasks), Cleo (12), Nick (8, BSWM-478) and Jerrold (2, BSWM-480).

SXSW dependency: Baker's Integrations (2/10), Content Mgmt and Punchout mirror SXSW's lagging initiatives. Most other Baker epics are BU-specific and not gated.

12. Homans Shopware (HMSW)

Jira: 0/0, 30 epics, all in Discovery. This was expected at creation on 08-18. Six weeks on with no stories, the useful question is where the work is being tracked. Homans-related tickets sit on SXSW (SXSW-1484, SXSW-879, SXSW-1031), and about 97 commits landed in homans-next-frontend, so decomposition on HMSW may not be needed.

Feature parity (the real signal): Done 63, Testing 12, In Progress 21, Not Started 52, N/A 41, No Ticket/Gap 2. That is about 42% Done of 150 applicable rows, or about 50% counting Testing.

• Gaps: Staging and Production environments, Order Templates/Shopping Lists data import, Salesforce, Rudderstack, Live Chat, Mobile Add to Cart, Customer/Account Registration, PDP badges and messages.
• Frontend matrix: Order Approval, DMI and Rudderstack are NYS, and Credit Card Processing, Order Queue and AHRI are WIP.
• Data migration: Customers, Companies, Products and Passwords are Done, but Lists, Roles and Images are Behind.
• Environment: Staging WIP, Production NYS, paused.

SXSW dependency: strong. Homans rides the shared boilerplate, and SXSW-879 (Authorize.net CIM, Active Development) and SXSW-1484 (0 stock at branches, In Review) are direct gates.

13. Peirce Phelps Shopware (PPSW)

Jira: 0/17. The board now holds 9 discovery epics and 17 stories (Authentication & SSO 6, Company & Account 3, Checkout 3, PLP 2, Integrations, Frontend Utilities and Pricing 1 each). Three are in flight: PPSW-25 (Submit Quote, In Review 8 days), and PPSW-26/27 (PO Validation, Active Development, PPSW-27 unassigned).

Feature parity: Done 63, Testing 10, In Progress 21, Not Started 56, N/A 40, No Ticket/Gap 1. That is about 42% Done of 151 applicable rows. Gaps: Staging and Production (Not Started, paused, SXSW-430), P21 Supersedes, Card Connect, Rudderstack, Registration, PDP badges/messages and Top Filters. The frontend matrix mirrors Homans, with Order Approval and DMI NYS.

Progress on the shared layer: Artem closed SXSW-1366 and SXSW-1363 (Submit Quote schema and business logic). SXSW-1364 (domain resolver) has been in review 13 days and SXSW-1365 (Peirce frontend) 3 days, and both gate PPSW-25. Data migration CMS Content is WIP.

SXSW dependency: high. PPSW's Jira work is downstream of the SXSW Submit Quote chain.

Review Pipeline Aging

Total in review: 115 tickets. The stale count is 8, down from 10 last week.

Status	Count	Median	Max
Development Complete	25	7d	42d
Active Development	21	4d	55d
QA	16	6d	55d
In Review	13	4d	62d
Deploying	13	0d	4d
Code Review / Merge	9	4d	11d
Code Review	8	5d	5d
Under Code Review	6	3d	6d
In QA	4	6d	21d

Stale tickets:

• SXSW-1173: 62 days in review with Paul, and a candidate to close or reassign.
• SXSW-1179: 55 days, the Punchout Core stall above.
• GSHOP-123/136/139: 55 days in QA, all for Nikolay.
• SXSW-449, SXSW-1362 and SXSW-1402: in Development Complete for 32-42 days.

Bottleneck: Development Complete is the fattest queue. Ilir Spaho alone holds six tickets there, 7-32 days old (SXSW-1402, 1495, 1422, 1401, 1538, 1535), and Chris Nitchie holds seven CE infra tickets at 7 days. These need a merge/verify owner rather than more development.

Trend: the Deploying spike is resolved, and stale tickets are down 20%.

Repository Activity & Team Velocity

Volume: about 983 commits this week. Frontend commits are inflated because boilerplate syncs land in peirce-frontend, homans-next-frontend and baker-headless, so the same change counts up to four times. Ecommerce-supergraph is the cleanest signal, at about 200 commits.

Top contributors:

• Adrian Pescar: 142 commits, and 24 tickets closed on Company Users, Linked Accounts, Roles and Account Information.
• Pablo Romero: 106.
• Damir Korpar: 101.
• Gabriel Guzmán: 78.
• CE team: Emil 67, Blake 65, Scott 36. Scott closed 41 tickets, mostly code-review sub-tasks, which pad CE's done count.
• Others: German 58, Tyler 41, Yovany 34.

By BU:

• CE: about 170 commits, largely on the supergraph, Shopware plugins and the cesw repo, matching the load-test and hardening work.
• Gemaire: about 60 commits on gem-headless and the supergraph, matching the +15 done.
• Baker: Tyler and Sebastian's work is visible, but baker-shopware sees only about 9 commits, so Baker's Shopware backend is thin against its remaining scope.
• Homans and Peirce: about 97 and about 60+ frontend commits respectively, real work with no Jira story count.
• ECMD: the highest per-board commit density, yet only +8 done, so ticket movement lags commit volume. Much of the work is inside larger Code Review items.

Zero-commit contributors with ticket activity: Rick Oliveira (12 closed, QA), Brendan Falkowski and Luis Undurraga (CE frontend/QA), and Priyanka and Tony (CE QA). That is expected for QA roles.

Concentration risk: Adrian, Pablo, Damir and Gabriel produce about 43% of commits. Gabriel's shift to Baker/ECMD has not visibly reduced frontend output.
