IT Failure Rates

Via acadac: IT Cortex Statistics over IT Failure Rate concludes:

• an IT project is more likely to be unsuccessful than successful
• about 1 out of 5 IT projects is likely to bring full satisfaction
• the larger the project the more likely the failure

Ponder that last point. Maybe it's better to make things small, simple, and incomplete! (And start with the interface.)
