Description

Big organisations call for big software projects. Often the requirements for these projects come from specialists who know the project and its goals. The software developers have the tools and abilities to implement such projects. Management can offer its support and can see the benefits the project would result in, so why do these projects often fail? Here we examine some of the reasons behind software failures and if there is anything that can be done to help gain acceptance.
