Maybe they laid off the people working on it. Just kidding. Seriously, the
Cisco training department has always worked at about 1/100,000,000 the
speed of Internet time.
Analyzing the results of a beta test is time-consuming, though, and
sometimes there are arguments on the meaning of the results. The test
writers must go through and weed out questions that everyone got right,
even the obvious newbies. (Newbies and experts are defined by the test
results, so it's an iterative process.) They must eliminate questions that
nobody got right. They must eliminate questions that the newbies got right
but the experts got wrong. Then they have to rescore the beta results.
If they eliminated too many questions, they have to add new ones. This must
be done with care since the new questions won't go through the same beta
test. Then, they must make sure the course matches the test.
Still, I agree that it's egregious that it has taken 14 weeks.
