They had already spent a LOT of money when the whole thing went south and they spent at least two years in litigation with the suppliers trying to get their money back, while having to continue using their old system which simply could not cope with the demands being placed on it. It had been designed for a less sophisticated age and added to so many times that it was creaking and groaning. I have no idea whether they succeeded in their quest - I was long gone by then!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-71479078083447091322008-07-28T23:18:00.000+01:002008-07-28T23:18:00.000+01:00Karyn - funny, I wouldn't call that a "failed proj...Karyn - funny, I wouldn't call that a "failed project." To me - a failed project is one that gets through all of the steps, including implementation, and no one uses it / it doesn't work. In my mind - not making it through the analysis phase is a success. Someone caught the problem before it REALLY started costing money.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148326128914333870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-88546390274435043552008-07-28T16:16:00.000+01:002008-07-28T16:16:00.000+01:00@wendy "You worked in an area with beanbags and to...@wendy "You worked in an area with beanbags and toys?!?!?!?"<BR/><BR/>Sure did! Hence my regular use of the phrase 'beanbag time'. I might even have coined the phrase for all know ;o) It was all time favourite way to work on a project and the fact that it failed has not changed that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-7077529161094494212008-07-28T15:51:00.000+01:002008-07-28T15:51:00.000+01:00Wow! You worked in an area with beanbags and toys...Wow! You worked in an area with beanbags and toys?!?!?!? Soooo jealous!<BR/><BR/>And I firmly agree that the Analysis phase is the one that often gets short shrift. Just because someone wants to do it doesn't mean actually doing it is a good idea in the long term. And spending the resources up front to figure that out saves lots of time/money/heartache on the back end.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, in anything, its actions rather than words that communicate importance.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148326128914333870noreply@blogger.com
