Why Do Software Projects Fail? Study Reports Up to 75% of Software Projects Will Fail

Jan 25, 2017 | Blog, Custom Software

Many executives are feeling worn down by confusion around project business objectives and recognize the need for more involvement from business stakeholders. These are the key findings of a new study of approximately 600 business and IT executives published by software development firm, Geneca.

The study, entitled “Doomed From the Start? Why a Majority of Business and IT Teams Anticipate Their Software Development Projects Will Fail” examines why teams continue to struggle to meet the business expectations for their projects. It surveys participants on such topics as requirements definition, accountability, and measuring project success.

“There is no question that the overall survey results shows that our single biggest performance improvement opportunity is to have a more business-centric approach to requirements,” states Geneca President & CEO, Joel Basgall. “Unfortunately, poor requirements definition practices have become so common that they’re almost tolerated. The gloomy results of this survey really drive this home.”
 

 
Interestingly, survey responses from IT professionals and their business counterparts are fairly similar, indicating that both groups have many of the same concerns with regard to their projects.

Key survey findings include:

“Although most software projects begin with high expectations, this research reminds us that problems usually lurk below the surface right from the start,” states Basgall. “The key is to understand what we are seeing and what to do about it.”
