I've been on MANY IT projects over the last 25 years. These clowns will take the current site down and replace it with a substitute. Same URL, same front page, but GREATLY reduced complexity - and GREATLY reduced functionality. They will then proclaim victory, and the press will dutifully report success.

Then, Øbama, the great illusionist, will move on to Shamnesty and those sycophantic enablers of tyranny in the press will drop the Øbamacare story.

Typical IT strategy:
1) Work on making it better, until the time or money runs out,
2) Wrap up all the code, and make sure it doesn't 404,
3) Proclaim victory!

Questions for Scarecrow Sebelius:
Who signed off on the project plan that called for no testing until the go-live date?
Why didn't you ever sign-on, and test the user experience first hand?
Who signed off on the paychecks for the consultants that were not delivering workable code?
Why do they and you still have a job?

Slight variation: 3) Proclaim victory (while beating a hasty but well-timed retreat)!
