Some key reasons why software projects fail…
Although the reasons mentioned below are not new at all, but worth keeping eye on during the course of the project (Pre planning, execution and post project)
Some reasons for project failures can be hunted down to:
-
Lack of involvement by senior management
-
Lackluster commitment to the project
-
Poorly defined specifications
-
Team members lacking appropriate skills
-
Poorly defined / executed tasks priority
-
Lack of appropriate UAT during various phases of the project
Some of the hidden causes for project failures are:
-
More often communication, hurt feelings, and people issues within the team are the hidden cause of a potentially failing project.
-
Everyone not working towards the same goal
-
Not establishing a strong sense of relationship with project team (internal as well as external)
Good manners and empathy pave the way to success with the team. At the end of the project, your teammates will not recall the details of the work you did, but they will remember your daily attitude.
Projects work when they are delivered on time, within budget, and work as promised.
