In their words
I've seen some massive projects, I've seen massive project failures. I was recently advising on a $1.5 billion software build that had lots of headaches. This problem has never gone away — it's the same today as it was when I started writing software 40 years ago.
The existing tools out there aren't getting the job done, so we're going to go build it ourself.
If you look at the statistics, about 40 percent of project failure — the primary cause is related to requirements management, change management and other project management issues.
