Why is it being offered to UAT if it's still a pile of tulipe?

Because no-one will admit it's a pile of tulip and every time anyway has pointed out any problems the response has been "We'll fix it in UAT".

At least thats what was said the last time I was involved in anything similar

What then happens is that the client gives in, signs off UAT and forks out more money for development.

I can think of three Government projects I've seen in the last month where my first reaction was to find the person who signed off the work and introduce them to the view from the top of the tower block.

It wouldn't be so bad if current clientco hadn't written two of the systems. How they remain MS Gold Partners is a mystery I don't want to investigate.

That's f**king stupid. Offering a piece of tulip to UAT just makes it even less likely that users ever accept because they lose all confidence in the system (unless of course it's a government organisation with a limitless supply of money).

I didn't say it was a good idea......
