Aplogies for my ignorance, but having just completed a basic project management course recently, there were a few areas that seem to have been overlooked with the MRA4:
1. If a project is no longer sustainable i.e. overbudget and not delivering then the Project Manager should take responsibility and, if required, shut it down.
2. If the end user is not getting what he wants, then the project should be reviewed at a higher level. With a view to shutting it down.
3. If the project has failed before, for whatever reason..... Then it should be shut down!
The cash cow principle can't be sustained. Ultimately, someone should have the courage to stand up and make an informed decision on this. The MRA4, Bowman and numerous other recent projects highlight the conflict of interest with many parties involved.
Getting off my soap box now......
