Standish Chaos Report 2009
The Standish Group just published their new findings from the 2009 CHAOS report on how well projects are doing. This years figures show that 32% of all projects are successful, 44% challenged, and 24% fail. As the website says startling results especially that they still do not hold up to scientific standards and replications of this survey (e.g. Sauer, Gemino & Reich) find exactly the opposite picture.

Since the CHAOS results are so controversial, I’ve decided a grass roots effort might be interesting. I created a single-question survey here:

And will be posting results here:

I feel that the biggest reason for project failures is the incapability of IT and technical leadership to do justice with their jobs.
Read my article where I discuss this further.
Have a great day,
