Too often the project requestors view it as strictly a technical project and sad to say, we in IT too often let them do it. Software projects are about change, we want to improve something, make it faster, easier, etc. etc. The problem is that human nature says we want change as long as we don’t have to ourselves change. Unfortunately, that’s usually not a practical expectation. Too often the technology works but the business owners don’t change their organizations, processes, procedures, to take advantage of the technology change and is then labeled a technology failure.<BR/><BR/>MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
