100% Successful Applications

So What is Success?

“A successful application is any application that serves the needs of the business”

Applications are built and implemented through a set of large and small projects

Project Failure is when a project:• Is over Budget or Behind Schedule• Is Cancelled• Fails to meet organizational needs

Major Failed Application Projects• SOURCES: BUSINESS WEEK, CEO MAGAZINE, COMPUTERWORLD, INFOWEEK, FORTUNE, THE NEW YORK TIMES, TIME, AND THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

“59.9% of projects fail from unclear, incomplete,

and improperly documented requirements that originate from unclear objectives”

59.9%Source: Chaos Report 1985 - 2009

“The Business Analysis and Project Management skills are the

greatest skillsets that aid successful applications”

• Companies with poor business analysis capability will have three times as many project failures as successes.

• 68% of companies are more likely to have a marginal project or outright failure than a success due to the way they approach business analysis.

• Over 41% of the IT development budget for software, staff and external professional services will be consumed by poor requirements.

• The vast majority of projects surveyed did not utilize sufficient business analysis skill to consistently bring projects in on time and budget.
