Report 2010-102: Administrative Office of the Courts: The Statewide Case Management Project Faces Significant Challenges Due to Poor Project Management (Release Date: February 2011)

Recommendation #33 To: Administrative Office of the Courts

To ensure no significant quality issues or problems exist within CCMS, the AOC should retain an independent consultant to review the system before deploying it to the three early adopter courts. This review should analyze a representative sample of the requirements, code, designs, test cases, system documentation, requirements traceability, and test results to determine the extent of any quality issues or variances from industry standard practices that would negatively affect the cost and effort required of the AOC to operate and maintain CCMS. If any quality issues and problems identified by this review can be adequately addressed, and system development can be completed without significant investment beyond the funds currently committed, the AOC should deploy it at the early adopter courts during the vendor’s warranty period.

1-Year Agency Response

In March 2012 the Judicial Council voted to halt deployment of CCMS; thus, this recommendation is no longer relevant. (See 2013-406, p. 144)
