Why do Software Projects Fail ?
Ideally every software project should have the best quality,
fastest development time and least cost. In real life, the
same will not happen every time.
There are many reasons as to why a final product cannot
be delivered to a customer or when delivered, the final product
may not be as per customer expectations.
This happens usually
when requirements and expectations are not properly understood
by both the client and the developer.
Also, changing requirements over a time period have to be properly managed.

Usually there are 3 common
Broad problem Areas in a software project :
Functionality Issues - When the software's functionality does
not meet the customer requirements.
Advertisement
Technology Issues - When the technologies used for the software
project are not appropriate for the customer requirements.
Individual People Issues - When the people who had originally
designed and developed the project are not available and the
enhancements and maintenance has to be done by somebody else with inadequate knowledge or documentation about the project.

Every software project faces ALL the above 3 issues. However,
success depends on how the software development team and the
customer jointly work together to minimise all the above issues.
