Why Government Software Projects Fail 70 Percent of the Time
Lucas and Luna examine why large government IT projects have a 70 percent failure rate, using the UK's National Health Service's abandoned 10-billion-pound patient records system as a central case study. They explore root causes: rigid procurement rules, misaligned incentives between contractors and agencies, and the lack of modular design. The episode also covers how smaller governments are succeeding with agile contracting and open-source alternatives, saving millions while delivering working software.
