The city of Turin close to the Alps in the north of Italy is gearing up to host the 2006 Winter Olympic Games, starting on 10 February. The immovable deadline and the high technical resilience and security needed means this is not a typical IT project. It takes double the amount of testing - 100,000 man hours - and costs 20 per cent more than a similar scale business project would. The final technical rehearsal is due to take place later this month.
