> The Economist magazine (Nov 27, 2004 p. 71) cites the Standish Group's estimates that "...30% of all software projects are canceled, nearly half come in over budget, 60% are considered failures by the organizations that initiated them, and 9 out of 10 come in late." In 2021 (as well as in 2004) it is meaningless to talk about "all software projects" without specifying domain, size, scope and project etymology. "Software" is too vast. It could be an app to tell the time with Mickey Mouses hands, or it could be the control software for a joint strike fighter.
