Question

Andrew, a highly qualified and experienced software developer, has just started work with a government

healthdepartment on a project that has been underway for about 9 months. He is replacing a novice developer who hasdecided to move on to a new project with another organisation. Even though the current system is incomplete, it has isbeing used with ‘live’ data. On analysing what’s been done so far, Andrew discovers that the system is poorly designedand is riddled with bugs due to the former developer’s lack of expertise, and that the choice of technologies areincompatible with the department’s infrastructure, leading to corruptions and loss of financial data on a daily basis. Infact, much of Andrew’s time is initially spent unsuccessfully attempting to recover corrupted data. His vast experienceleads him to the conclusion that the system is so unstable that it will eventually corrupt beyond repair and that all itsdata will become unrecoverable. He therefore advises the supervisor of his findings and recommends that the system beredeveloped using appropriate technologies and quality control measures. He indicates that the entire redevelopmenteffort will take less than 6 weeks. The supervisor rejects Andrew’s recommendation, stating that their IT Department willnot agree to a change in technology, and directs Andrew to complete the project using the existing technologies.
