introduction
Projects are human endeavors to deliver targeted
business value within specific cost and schedule envelopes. Program
Managers, Analysts, Developers, Testers, stakeholders and specialists (CM,
contracts, security, etc) collaborate to achieve project goals. Typically,
individuals are well skilled in their domain and most project issues can be
traced to how effective the collaborations are. In discussing the state of
software intensive projects, the Standish Group and the Gartner Group
report:
- 54% of projects over run costs by more then 20%
[Standish 2003]
- 70% of projects overrun schedule by more then 20%
[Standish 2003]
- 52% of projects deliver less then 75% of
functionality [Standish 2003]
- 28% of all IT projects fail before completion
[Gartner]
- 60% of projects fail to deliver promised ROI
[Standish 2003]
