week 9 discussion/status report

 

The purpose of project management and the SDLC is to increase successful software implementation. The article titled

“IT Project Failure Rates: Facts and Reasons

” makes it clear that a lot of projects still fail.

• Identify an IT system development failure that occurred within  the last 2 years. Do not repeat an example from earlier in the course or  one that has been posted by another student.
• In your initial post this week, analyze which project management  concepts were not respected by the project managers and where in the  SDLC these lapses occurred.
• Describe how you might have spoken up had you been on the steering committee.
