Are you thinking of creating web software in the cloud, an App, a Marketplace, or process security software for your company? Many of these custom developments failed in their attempt. What have been the 5 most frequent reasons? We present the most common causes of failure of a software project below:
Lack of clarity in project requirements:
Not establishing a scope at the beginning of the project that allows obtaining an expectation of the final result of the software.
Bad methodology and tools of little use:
Weaknesses in the planning of the project where the time and effort required by the activities proposed in the scope are not estimated, which lacks solid foundations for obtaining the necessary resources for the success of the project. Sometimes we can implement the use of tools that are not useful or effective with cost and time.
Excessively tight delivery times:
Not using an agile methodology such as SCRUM or XP for development that allows the work team to have control of the iterations of the project and control of the deliverables, thus avoiding reprocesses that end up in the extra cost of the resources previously designated for the project.
Lack of end-user involvement:
Do not create a beta version of the project where we can test the software on a controlled segment of end users who give feedback to the application and then we can expose it to the entire commercial segment of its users.
Unrealistic expectations:
Having unrealistic expectations of the finished software product, such as technologies that have not been tested yet or requirements involving third parties that may later be out of scope.
