You have been appointed as a project director to lead a project team which has been awarded a contract worth RM $40$ million from a local established firm to develop a payment gateway system. The system must be delivered in six $(6)$ months. However, three $(3)$ months into the project, the client had some issues due to the change of management. With systems development costs rising up and revenues down, cash flow is a concern for the firm. Your client wants to cancel the project.

In your personal opinion, do you think IT receives more than its share of blame when the implementation of this project fails? Limit your discussions on the issues of governance and human factors, and lesson learned.
