Selling into Project Success
May 30, 2007 @ Project Management Zone from R. Max Wideman
Why is it that we hear so much about project failure in the Information/Technology (IT) world? Is it justified? For example, Jim Highsmith observes (elsewhere):1
"The Standish Group's Chaos reports (1994 and 2001) have caused a tremendous waste of IT dollars. Just look at tool site after tool site - project management, collaboration, software development, modeling tools - the numbers from the Chaos report are given as a key reason for buying particular products. [Yet] these reports are heralded as verification that the software development community is in a sorry state of affairs and that we must all be unprofessional, undisciplined, and immature."2
