Software projects rarely fail because of technology.
They fail because of process and decision-making.

Common failure reasons

• No clear success metrics

• Over-engineered architecture

• Poor communication

• No iteration plan

How successful projects differ

Successful teams:

• Define outcomes, not just features

• Validate early and often

• Build for change

Prevention is cheaper than fixing

Fixing a failed system often costs 2–3× more than building it right the first time.
