In a recent survey, IBM’s Scott Ambler found that 68.6% of IT professionals have been involved in software projects they knew would fail before they’d even begun.
That’s because most IT project “disasters” aren’t caused by poor performance, but by a misunderstanding of basic feasibility.
No matter how talented your IT team and its leadership may be, there’s simply no way to save a project that’s doomed by faulty expectations.
But with an accurate, evidence-based view of software project analytics from QSM, you can negotiate, guide, and maintain realistic expectations throughout the entire software development life cycle–making “disasters” virtually impossible.
