2.47 ICL appointed a qualified technical architect to be the sole point of responsibility for all matters relating to design against requirements, for development, and for ensuring that testing would assure the Department and ICL management of a deliverable, usable and supportable system. ICL believes, with the benefit of hindsight, that it should not have continued development but should have suspended the development work much earlier and insisted on full business process definition and the logical requirements definition before recommencing design and coding. It told the Department in the first half of 2001 that the Statement of Business Requirement was insufficiently detailed to enable it to be sure of the Department's requirements. In the spring of 2001, ICL initiated a process to document the overall business environment within which Libra would operate. This involved the Department, Magistrates' Courts Committees and ICL in a series of workshops with the intention of preparing the logical requirements definition. This effectively rendered nugatory over a year's worth of Magistrates' Courts Committee and Departmental staff effort in providing information to and reviewing documents from ICL in its original approach to requirements definition.
