Mi dispiace (ho dimenticato)
buon compleanno il mio amico
(isn't it funny how demented and 'forgot' in Italian seem closely related as words ?)

Yes, it's funny, never thought about it: 'demente' and 'dimenticare' look suspiciously closer.
Thank you, Garth.

You have just been Sharapova'd.

Hello!
(This is not a do my homework for me, its more please help me find sources if you can)
Basically, I have an assignment and I need examples of IT case studies of project failures for:
[X] Lack of user involvement - Mars Rover Project - Counting NASA as the user
[X] Long or unrealistic Time Scales - TAURUS
[X] Poor or no requirements - Using a personal example (Hope he accepts it...)
[X] Scope Creep - (Using TAURUS as my study)
[ ] No change control system - Need to find something!! ;-;
[X] Poor testing - HM Revenue and Customs
If anybody is willing to help me locate some case studies which are of UK projects I would be most grateful, the materials provided by the class are of mostly non UK projects, which is 'slightly' stupid as he wants UK examples...
I've tried googling, but all I can find is 200 PDFs of why projects fail and US examples, nothing which is really applicable ;-;

Oh, I know some pretty examples of all of the above and may add some myself:
- Poor or no leadership
- No or utterly insane software architecture.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Same here, I work as a junior system administrator (well, more in a lead position as I'm the only SysAdmin there) and I have some crazy stories of the system which would fit a few of these, just not sure I'd get away with it for the assignment...

Add "MOD" to your search query - that's where the real horror stories live... see ComputerWeekly[^]

Yeah sorry, I made a mistake in a QA answer last week.

TAURUS should give you every possible failure; especially time frame and scope creep.
Look also at any government IT project.

Good point, I was debating on using TAURUS inside time frame to replace the one I have, I managed to trace the case study to Denver University. Using TAURUS for scope creep and Time frame should save my behind a reasonable amount, the teacher is a royal pain in the ass at times and I know he'd be willing to send it back just because a case study isn't a UK one :/

One more:
- Team - incompetent, not trained, over-dependence on search-engine results .
For case studies, not sure whether companies / corporates will ever make public their internal project reports (including failed ones).
A dated (1996) book where several case studies are presented is "Rapid Development" by Steve McConnell. Though dated, some of these case studies are still relevant, and independent of country (can happen in US, UK, anywhere). You can read some case studies in the Amazon preview.
