One statistic that has stuck with me is that 80% of software projects fail. It's the default that your software will not succeed, or do well.
One small reason for that is poor time estimation, but having good time estimation won't make your software succeed. I think having good planning, makes for a good working environment, but it doesn't mean the project as a whole will succeed. It might mean the developers will be happier to be with you and pivot to the next idea.
I would like to look at the percentage of successful projects and see what proportion of these had good estimation attributes.
- nradov 8y agoThat's a meaningless statistic. The vast majority of large software projects do eventually deliver something of value, even if it's late, missing features, and full of defects. Is that a failure? Depends on the circumstances.
