Standish Chaos Report 2009

Standish 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,
