Was that easy/difficult to predict?

    There is a further link provided in that article which should give you some more insight. It seems there was a control group but I can’t find the final analysis/results.

    The mind boggles at why the researchers would choose a setting like this when it is obvious that problems grow exponentially when projects become bigger, with increased complexity. They had such good arguments (or was it Inkling? – none of these bloody links work anymore).

    I’ve come clean and described the problems we’re facing in IT. There is another huge project going on and they are just as desperate as we are. There was another one a couple of years ago and they failed in every respect.

    It seems these problems arise when projects have to install a lot of software as opposed to hardware, although we have both.

    The 92% figure is irrelevant IMO, and I have a feeling the authors already found out about that, sneakily hiding the final results from us. :-D
