Apologies for digging up the "UK Government couldn't organise an IT project in a brewery" debate, but I stumbled upon this article and it sums the situation up on one page...

Ah you see the report specifically mentions Qinetiq...
When I worked for DERA and it was split I was lucky to end up (i.e. I changed jobs until I knew I was going) in Dstl rather than QQ.
Odd, that it doesn't mention EDS (benefit project) or Crapita (NHS project) specifically.

My favourite article is "Stuck In IT Hell With The Commissars", if only because it makes a thought-provoking attempt to show how these IT projects could be made to be more successful.

That's a cool blog - puts mine to shame (as per my sig) but I manage to spill out some bile ridden angst on a slightly more regular basis (i.e. weekly +/- 2 days).

At last! There's a strange drumming sound. Can anyone else hear it?

It's scary. What queuing in a supermarket does to your head. Instigating voices. The voices that say "kill them".
...oh, forget it...

Yeah, sure, I do know ... my replies were a joke, too, perhaps an inside one that only the Doctor Who fans on the forum will have got ...
