Comment Re:Maybe they used Ancestry.com? (Score 5, Interesting) 281

Facebook keeps showing me a person I might know and the only, ONLY, place I have ever seen the name before is in my Ancestry DNA match list. Never emailed. No common friends. We don't have a common ancestor in our trees yet and are about 5th cousins. The person lives in a different country, though I have visited the city and checked into places on FB.

I am just a technical guy, not the one writing business requirements, doing project management or signing off.

My point was, it is a general problem with how large technical projects are done and most "fail" because of the exact same reasons. This is not intended to start a discussion on techniques/methodologies.

I'm not trying to defend, it's just an observation.

Of course governments should be better at spending public money, but how can they be better when most organizations follow the same patterns and practices.

For the record, I don't work with or for any organization involved with that project.
