Phase II (Sep 93 - Mar 94): Project management

'The key problems have been that there wasn't the resource to manage the project and I think there was a general underestimation of, or lack of perception of, the complexity of what they were doing. I think there was also a little unwillingness on the part of the project team to say look we feel a bit out of our depth here. I think they should have..it's a two way thing..they should have said to Gordan, look we're not happy about this, we need somebody managing ... they were over confident or maybe they weren't but I think if it had been more managed it would actually have flashed up problems, they were the guys writing it from day to day. Now I don't know why they didn't make sure they were more in control than they were, maybe it's a sort of macho thing.

... I was bit surprised because Gordan is a very approachable chap, he's not one of these table thumpers by any means ... The problem would be is that he is going in all directions at once. ... I think it's the usual sort of ... rows about people getting resources and things like that it's never just a simple case of the people doing the job. ... '
