According to The Standish Group (www.standishgroup.com), a major IT research institution, only 34% of IT projects are completed on time and within budget. Standish estimates that 51% overrun their schedules and surpass their budgets while 15% are cancelled. Although these findings show vast improvement from their first study in 1994, the rates are still alarming. In other words, there is only one chance in three that the next project will succeed. These are fairly depressing odds. However, unlike Texas No-Limit Hold'em, the next IT project does not have to be a gamble. By knowing the most common causes of project failure, the user and his company can play their cards well and lay down a winning hand every time.
