This IEEE article talks about the failures of software projects. It is timely, as the world looks to AI as the panacea to all problems. Arguably, talent problems might be alleviated by proper use of AI tools – though even that is not a guarantee.
Cautionary tales like the Phoenix’s payroll meltdown reminds us that software project failures can have real-world consequences. It is a sombre reminder that complex software projects still need to be properly planned, managed and executed, even if we have much better tools today and beyond.
As I heard from a wise man, it’s a people, not a software problem.
Why do software failures persist despite soaring IT budgets? Dive into the complexities that keep success elusive.
