The Year 2000 transformation is by no means merely a problem of computer science, involving coding practice or programming-in-the-small. It turns out that the Year 2000 problem is mainly a project management problem. To plan and control a Year 2000 transformation one has to discover the facts on which all planning is based on. In this paper, we describe a straightforward approach to gather the facts relevant for a Year 2000 coarse-grained planning. It was done in a customer engagement at a large German insurance company. The engagement was done completely at the customer's site using only standard tools, which are most likely installed in each larger organization.
