Geezz, tough crowd to please! I mean 48 man hours vs
800,000 man hours (my guess, $25 Million buys alot of
analysis man hours) and you still want me to say that
that 48 hours was under budget. Ok, it was under
budget?
Prior failed efforts! That DFD statement was a
rigorous, comprehensive, integrated understanding of
essential tasks to be accomplished within the scope of
the system and their interrelationships. It was the
main thing that $25 Million was supposed to come up
with - but failed to. My conversations with the
Congressional special investigators made that quite
clear.
