'I went round and carried out the relatively simple process of asking them all what the remaining tasks were to be carried out and getting their estimates for that work. And indeed it was the case that they couldn't implement it within the time scale. There was simply too many days work. So I reviewed those dates and times and dependencies and it worked out they needed about another two weeks ... and even then there was very little time.X064 page 001.02 (tape 04.1.03) Stuart Notes/Tape 14/10/94The problem that faced me was that I hadn't been involved in version II at all, the development of it and secondly I wasn't a technical Powerbuilder, Sybase type person. I felt I probably couldn't challenge them on certain things although I did, and they reevaluated them. ... Other problems that we had were ... there had already been two estimates by the team as to when they would put in the system and both had proved over optimistic and had to been revised. My subsequent revision was really the third revision in quite a short period of time and so we were left with first of all having to go back to a user and say, "It's going to be two weeks later that we thought it was".'
