> Heck, I was a part of an utterly failed project with a $150m budget (in 2005), in a large European company

Was it a just a somewhat complex CRUD app like the SSA example or most govt IT projects? Or were you guys trying for something more complicated and innovative and failed?



It was an ERP application from a large three-letter European company. In other words, a CRUD app with lots of UI forms. Nothing innovative or particularly interesting.

The hardware to deploy it was alone a couple of million. At least, I got to play with some rather cool gear (for that time).
