Abstract
An e-government project management and development scenario in a fictional country is described. Emphasis is given on how local culture undermines project quality. A detailed fictional project development scenario is presented. The interplay between different players, i.e. project developers, reviewers, and public services, is illustrated. While the rules of technology are the same everywhere, local adaptation due to socio-economic factors can bend them to the degree of making them ineffective.
