The document summarizes a programme to implement a replacement electronic document and records management (eDRM) system for a central government department. The programme was in crisis when the author took over as interim programme director, with delays, cost overruns, and lack of user confidence. Key steps taken by the author included negotiating a new implementation date, outsourcing training to reduce costs, and rebuilding relationships between stakeholders. Ultimately, the programme was completed on time and under budget, and was seen as a success by the department and users.
