Re: The scoundrels
Remarkably, the 2012 London Olympics went off without a hitch. I was quite surprised - even though I was involved in the IT side of delivering the Olympics and had confidence in my own organisation, it seemed too vast an endeavour on a relatively short timescale to not fall apart somewhere.
Perhaps it should be a case study on how to successfully deliver a big IT project. God knows, the successful examples are few and far between...
