Crossing the chasm?
On yesterday's World at One (Tuesday 30 May 2006) Richard Bacon MP, member of the Public Accounts Committee was interviewed about the unfolding disaster that is "The National Programme for IT in the NHS":
"...there are shelf loads of advice saying when your doing a big project, do things bit by bit - incrementally. Go from the known to the unknown one step at a time. Don't try and do a big-bang."
"And its not like we haven't been here before: the Wessex Regional Health Authority disaster was such a big disaster because it was a big-bang scheme, dreamed up from the centre......"
Its great to see the message is finally trickling through.

If only this attitude was replicated, or even appreciated, throughout other public IT projects.
I so looking forward to the Government's ID card/national ID register rollout - that'll be a barrel full of laughs.
