Software Project Secrets is the first book to analyze and address the problems that project management's best practices cause in software development projects. It shows how to integrate agile methodologies with project management to resolve these problems.
The book is aimed at managers, developers and customers who use industry standard methodologies, but whose projects still struggle to succeed. In 2000, only 28% of software projects succeeded outright. 23% were cancelled, and the remainders were substantially late and over budget. (In contrast, 94% of construction projects succeed.) No-one has yet found a satisfactory explanation for why so many software projects fail so badly.
