We're 9 weeks into our project. 1 week in and we had built the rudiments of a working portal. When we were 2 weeks in we asked our Product Sponsor if we could put an early version of the portal (and the Publisher system we're building to go with it) live before Christmas. If I'm honest I'm not sure he believed we could do it but he liked the idea and gave us the go ahead. We've been building out the functionality iteratively every week since then.
On Thursday evening we put an early version of the portal live and we celebrated with pizza. During the day there was lots of fun and frolics. Judging by some of the looks we were getting, I don't think people in the company had seen people in the process of going live be so relaxed, let alone have fun.
Now it's done, the Product Sponsor is excited and can't decide whether to publicise the portal. A nice dilemma to have.
