They chose the lowest priced company because they didn't know how to spec the tender properly and to do a proper risk analysis.
The lowest costs, of course, will win out in this case.
- minhaz23 8y agoHow would one do it properly then?
- candiodari 8y agoOne can't. That would require management "speccing it out" (ie. knowing what they're asking for). The only fix for that problem is replace management, which would have to be done ... by management.
- mattmanser 8y agoYou're just suggesting management should follow a waterfall PM structure. We're supposed to get incomplete specs, it's the only way everyone can end up happy. It doesn't help pointing fingers at an ephemeral 'management' for not knowing exactly how an app should work up front.
- candiodari 8y agoIncomplete in terms of technical architecture perhaps, but what ends up happening is that it's very incomplete in terms of function as well. In fact, it's usually overspecced in terms of technical architecture and woefully underspecced in terms of function.
