This
section is on projects and why they fail so often. Common reason why projects fail: 1. The Dunning-Kruger Effect People who don't understand what the project is trying to achieve and how the project should be structured make decisons outside their competencies. 2. A lack of technical leadership - a leadership that should be provided by an architect 3. No matter how it looks at first, it's always a people problem* 4. Mis-understanding the role of requirements. The Requirements Myth 5. Vendors sell solutions. It's your job to make sure what a vendor sells solves your problem. * With acknowledgement to Gerald M.
