I wonder about coordination among the program officials and the MIDAS implementation team. That was an area we were deficient in during the System/36 rollout. The tendency was for program people to focus on current program issues, assuming the systems people had things under control. Not so.

MIDAS Update
A new set of materials on MIDAS are available--see here. I'm a little bothered by the gap between May and August in the release. Maybe I have a romantic view of communication in projects: ideally there'd be a continual flow of questions and answers and information among the developers and the soon-to-be users. As I say, it's romantic and because most of the communication is probably on the intranet I've only a partial view.

We never learn from history, only prove it over and over again
The program officials are working closely with the implementation teams - almost to the exclusion of other critical stakeholders, like IT.
