VanDev: Why Projects Fail

In October we'll have a presentation by returning speaker Robert Goatham that takes a new look at why software projects fail. Hindsight is always 20-20 and Robert is in the business of using that hindsight to help companies avoid the same mistakes in the future. Join us as he takes a look at the roots of recent common failures. Following the presentation we'll have a door prize draw, round-the-room introductions, and then open the floor for networking. This is a networking event so bring your business/contact cards and a story or 2 to share.

About The Presentation:

Delayed, failed and cancelled software projects cost organizations billions of dollars annually. Almost every organization experiences the pain of a troubled project at some point. The fallout in terms of cost, damaged reputation and personal stress levels can be extreme. In a lively session of open discussion I'll present an alternate perspective of what's going wrong that opens the door for new perspectives on an old chestnut of a problem.
