	%X The trend in the world of Information Technology
(IT) is getting increasingly large and difficult projects rather than
smaller and easier. However, the data on large-scale IT project
success rates provide cause for concern. This paper seeks to answer
why large-scale IT projects are different from and more difficult than
other typical engineering projects. Drawing on the industrial
experience, a compilation of the conditions that influence failure is
presented. With a view to improve success rates solutions are
suggested.
