Wherever there is a project there is a project manager, and wherever there is a project manager there is RAG (red, Amber, Green) report. When it comes to Government, all the projects have regular "Gateway Reviews" which produce a RAG rating by Office of Government Commerce.
It may come as little surprise to some that Government projects don't do well when it comes to RAG reports. So far this year there have been 44 Gateway Reviews carried out by OGC. Of them 59% received a red, 34% received an amber, and just 7% received a green. In fact, since 2002 the average Gateway Review green rating for Government projects has been just 13%.
This means on average for the last five years, 87% of all reviewed Government projects have been in jeopardy of being delayed and going over-budget. Like I say, no surprise there. If its any consolation the number of red alerts as been steadily rising year on year. Oh wait.. that's bad too.

Always the way - spending someone else's money on someone else's things for someone else.
No skin in the game. In fact - the incenctive is on the service provider to make it over-run.....
