California DMV
In 1987, the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) embarked on a major project to revitalize their drivers license and registration application process. By 1993, after $45 million dollars had already been spent, the project was cancelled.
According to a special report issued by DMV, the primary reason for redeveloping this application was the adoption new technology. They publicly stated: "The specific objective of the 1987 project was to use modern technology to support the DMV mission and sustain its growth by strategically positioning the DMV data processing environment to rapidly respond to change." Also, according to the DMV special report "The phasing was changed several times, but the DMV technical community was never truly confident in its viability....”
The project had no monetary payback, was not supported by executive management, had no user involvement, had poor planning, poor design specifications and unclear objectives. It also did not have the support of the state's information management staff.
The DMV project was not rocket science. There are much harder applications than driver licenses and registrations. But because of internal state politics, unclear objectives, and poor planning, the project was doomed from the start.
