I think the old Public sector "jobs for the boys" mentality is at play here.

 

Just this morning when I rang DWP they were having some problems !

 

I worked as IT admin for the DWP for over 5 years (well, around 2 of those years were as the Employment Service, which now makes up half of the DWP) and decided to get a real job.

 

I see this quite a lot within the MoD - some of the civil servants, old and young, and officers in the military shouldn't be allowed anywhere near ANYONE else let alone a computer - seriously complete &(£$)!

Its well known, that some of the people get their jobs purely because they went to school with someone else, or their dad was a senior bod - see a lot of family members etc. through our place and then onto other departments.

 

Yes. Just because something is failing does not in any way mean it is PRINCE2 that is causing that failure. Who says that PRINCE2 was followed properly, if at all? PRINCE2 is only part of the equation in Project Management; when it comes down to what to do and how to do it, you're also looking at something like APMP.

If any project management, you need full undiluted buy-in from all stakeholders, including Board, customers and suppliers. If you don't have that, things fail.

Government does use the OGC framework, and I never said they didn't. I use my skills in ITIL and PRINCE2 daily; however, using it doesn't necessarily mean all people will use it properly mate.

We are in danger of tarring all Government employees with the same brush. The majority are very good/good and do follow best practice.

Never intended to imply you were mate... which is why I didn't use You... and as a consequence of past employment and your wife's current employment, I'm sure you'll appreciate as much as I do how hard the majority do work.
