Another one though where the project has many parts, almost all of which were 
to be delivered at the end. The only delivered item is the now orphaned 
Director ID.

Have we learned nothing about delivering projects in the last half century?

Subject: Re: [OT] Junked business registry overhaul blew out by $2.3b

Am hesitant to share much but apparently the sh!t show was due to earlier 
decisions, 2 or so years old. Technically a lot of the work was being delivered 
successfully.

Only one mention of XML in the redacted report, but three mentions of SBR1, so 
that still counts. šŸ˜

Aha!  That leads to a bit of IT tech talk I can sort-of understand:

The MBRā€™s starting point for the technology architecture was Foster Mooreā€™s 124 
registry software, Catalyst. Catalyst was selected as the 
commercial-off-the-shelf product for the MBR implementation, following a formal 
approach to market and design validation with Foster Moore. 125 During the 
course of the program, the implementation changed to a later version of 
Catalyst called Verne.

Verne is a cloud-hosted registry product that uses Linux/Unix OS and a document 
database that is suitable for registries. It uses a lesser-known Java-based 
programming language called Groovy. 126 Verne provides out-of-the-box 
functionalities for registration management, client management, content 
management, access management, configuration management, analytics and 
reporting, data provision, account management, communication management, 
document management, API management, and fee and revenue management. The user 
interface framework provides a flexible way to generate XML based APIs.

I've heard of Groovy<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Groovy>, but now I 
see it's a Java-like static or dynamic language. Foster Moore's 
Verne<https://www.fostermoore.com/verne> software is some gigantic 
off-the-shelf corporate registry software product that claims to be highly 
configurable. There's no mention of what back-end database it uses.
