Project failure discussion forum

Read the following article about the failed implementation of the FBIs Virtual Case File software. This is a classic example of technology project mis-management.   

As you read the article, use the three-sphere model as a guide to what questions should have been asked at the onset of the project. As the project manager, how should these three questions have been answered?

How much will it cost?
Who will the project affect?
What applications software will be required?
In your initial post, list five reasons you feel the project failed, classifying them as technological (hardware/software did not work, etc.), business (cost impact), or organizational (cultural, economic, etc.).
