This unfortunately is not an isolated incident in projects in this organisation.
Political interference in operationally critical decisions has become endemic.
"Leaders Leading" is a complete farce.
The sound of resignations hitting the desk should have been deafening last friday before this software went on if those with the authority had any cojones.
Sadly it has all happened before - remember when we had to roll back version 51? Same situation - not operationally ready but political pressure overroad sensible decisions.
I hope they get it right before trying again because we wont always be lucky enough to dodge the bullet.
