Another IT project running late? Shocker. Reminds me of Novopay.

my thoughts. Same old story, different budget.

As someone in the industry, this doesn't surprise me at all. These projects are always way too ambitious and under-resourced. £336m for a visa system? Ffs.

Great, more delays. Meanwhile I've been waiting 8 months for a residency decision 🙃

BREAKING: INZ's IT project already behind schedule. Taxpayer money down the drain again? Read more in the comments!

Bit harsh on them, IT projects often have teething issues. Give them a chance to fix it. At least they're trying to improve the system.

I'd rather they get it right than rush it. But $336m is crazy money for a visa system lol

Can't even process a group visa properly and they want to rebuild the whole system. Yeah nah this is gonna be a disaster.

Studying IT at uni, this is exactly what happens when management doesn't consult the devs. Classic waterfall project fail lol

Luca Reid2026-07-02T22:17:51.000Z

mate, they've had years. This is just incompetence

Drew Parker2026-07-02T22:32:51.000Z

Just use the app mate, why do people even bother with group visas in 2026?

Jack Morrison2026-07-02T22:46:51.000Z

good luck with that career. You'll learn fast that managers ruin everything
