Here's another weblog on analysis of software implementation failures, to see what we can do to reduce that outcome.
by author Michael Krigsman
All too often, large software projects are like ocean liners in a sea of icebergs, going full speed ahead while the officers and crew focus on narrow technical details. Then Bang! The project smashes into an obstacle that should have been anticipated and suddenly everyone is underwater. The Deck Chairs blog is dedicated to identifying the causes of project failures and suggesting better ways to navigate around the icebergs. The picture across the top banner is the Titanic, inspiration for this blog’s title.
As president of Cambridge Publications, I oversaw the development of tools and methods for improving software implementations on really large, global projects. I’ve worked with SAP, IBM, and a bunch of other companies on these issues. As president of Asuret, I consult to make IT projects more successful and less risky.
I’m also on the Board of Directors (and treasurer) of the America’s Cup Hall of Fame and the Herreshoff Marine Museum, located in Bristol, RI. If you are in the Newport area come take a look. Bristol is a lovely town and the museum is situated right on the water — it’s really worth a visit.

Sample weblog entry from there:
SOA Web Services: Failures on the horizon (Dec 8, 2006)
In a recent InformationWeek survey, 24% of respondents from large corporations said their SOA projects “fell short of expectations.” Of these, 55% said the reason for failure was that the SOA initiative “introduced more complexity into their IT environment” — ironic , given that one of the benefits touted by SOA proponents is that it reduces complexity.
