The successful candidate will have dealt with failing projects and the entire project lifecycle

from inception all the way through to premature canning?

+ does it really say "Agile (scum)"?

(because of course Agile and Prince2 are dead similar. Either will be fine...)

I used to get pulled on to failing projects on my last perm job. Used to piss me right off.

Especially the biggy where at the beginning I did a risk analysis and a very passionate speech about how in 18 months time it wouldnt work and why.

18 months later it didnt work.

VP called me and said, you were right, I'm handing you the project to sort it out, you've got three months!!!
