Phase I (Sep 92 - Jun 93): Project management

'The other problem I think, the whole process of managing a prototype is incredibly difficult compared with your normal structured stage by stage approach to development. Now I know the old traditional way produced a system that no one really wanted and didn't meet requirements, but I think we've got a system hopefully that does reflect what business people wanted but we've built a much bigger system than we ever intended to in phase I. I think what happened to us, is when users see what you can do with the technology, it creates a bigger demand really from a users point of view and it can quickly get out of control ...

I let it run too long in certain areas, David..that's always a kind of disadvantage of having someone on like David who is very keen obviously to get as much as he can into the system in phase I, pushing and pushing and pushing, and I think I should have cut more but I didn't.'
