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.}, journal = {International Journal of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering}, volume = {1}, number = {9}, year = {2007}, pages = {474 - 477}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10801}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/9}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 9, 2007}, }
