I got an insight in to why this is the case in 2012, when I had the misfortune to be part of the worst project I've ever worked on. I was at one of Australia's 'big four' banks. My $100m project was charged with replacing a tiny part of their mortgage system: the onboarding of a new customer. That was it: just getting a new customer in to the existing legacy system. Oracle were the prime. They were a disgrace. Accenture had their grubby little fingers in the pie and were theoretically, laughably, going to run the thing. They used to charge us $2m to copy and paste documents. The thieves. It was an utter shambles. The 'plan on a page' was diamond shapes on a PowerPoint slide. There was no link to any sort of reality. I lasted 9 months before the blessed gods let me go. Shortly thereafter the whole thing was cancelled.
