Ten Characteristics of Successful Projects

Over the last 15 years Pragmatyxs has been fortunate to be part of many successful projects. While we believe our efforts contributed to these results the real heroes are our customers. Without their vision, focus and steadfastness these projects would have at best been only marginally successful in meeting objectives or at worst costly failures that wasted valuable resources and potentially crippled the business.

In these trying economic times project undertakings must provide a measureable return and be delivered on-time, on-budget—failure is not an option!

As you consider endeavours for 2010 and beyond that will transform and position your business for future prosperity take a moment to review the characteristics of success and the realities of project failures.

Studies conducted by the Standish Group, a Massachusetts based research group, have stated that more than 50% of software projects fail. This incredible statistic illustrates the perils that companies face when they set out to employ new systems and select partners to supply, implement and support those systems. The Standish Group has defined success and failure on projects into two "Top Ten" lists.
