[Year 12 SofDev] failure of SD projects - article

[Allan Barnes]

Yes - and we can look closer to home for affirmation as well - Ultranet,
Myki, our own purported healthcare network, etc., etc., etc.

 

The more interesting question for me is not why they fail, but why clients /
governments continue to stump up the money and sign contracts knowing that
the chance of success is so small.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kind regards
