“As a result of the many gaps and weaknesses we found in the project’s design, oversight, and accountability, it did not deliver the best value for taxpayer dollars spent,” wrote Auditor General Karen Hogan in a report released Monday.

No shit.

No app should ever cost anywhere near that amount. The only way to get to that number is to include far to many people in front of the programmers.

Two competent programmers and a single manager to coordinate the requirements could have turned out a better result. They should cap the number of people allowed to work on software like this at around 5-10.

Same thing with the Phoenix pay system, too many cooks in the kitchen.
