The Software Crisis
• The CHAOS study published in 1995 by TheStandish Group found that although the U.Sspent over $250 billion on IT projects,approximately…
– __% were cancelled before completion
– __% were completed but over budget, overschedule, and did not meet original
specifications.– For mid-size companies, average costoverruns were ____%, while average scheduleoverruns were ____%!

Why Do IT Projects Fail?
• Larger projects have the lowest successrate and appear to be more risky thanmedium and smaller projects
– Technology, business models and marketschange so rapidly that a project that takesmore than a year can be obsolete beforethey are completed.
• The Chaos study also provides someinsight as to the factors that influenceproject success.

The Project Life Cycle and ITDevelopment
• Project Life Cycle (PLC)– A collection of logical stages or phases that maps the
life of a project from its beginning to its end inorder to define, build and deliver the product of theproject – i.e., the information system
• Projects are divided into phases to increasemanageability and reduce risk– Phase exits, stage gates, or kill points ______
_______________________________________
_______________________________________– Fast tracking is the overlapping of phases to reducethe project’s schedule
• Can be risky!
