What affected the schedules?: Underestimating the problem

Stuart's lack of experience with the technical aspects of Powerbuilder and Sybase together with his lack of leadership experience meant that he found it difficult to challenge the schedule for version II (00743). The Post Implementation Report said the estimates produced by the team lacked contingency or allowance for novelty of the tools (00121) but I suspect they were just over optimistic which the tools probably encouraged.
