Why software projects die


Great post over at sourcemaking.com today, 40 Reasons Why Software Projects Die. One recent job I had suffered from many of these AntiPatterns, specifically

  1. Death by Planning
  2. Design by Committee
  3. Irrational Management
  4. Cover Your Assets
  5. Project Mismanagement
  6. Lava Flow
  7. Mushroom Management

and so many more… it’s a great list and a good read if only so you can recognize these success-killers and avoid them.
