A big thanks to everybody that came along to the Why do software projects fail? session last night, it was a really fun evening! The slides from my talk are available to download/view online.
As I said in my talk, here's my challenge to you. Next time you grab a coffee with your team, have a quick discussion about how *you* design software. By "design software", I mean taking a set of vague requirements with a blank sheet of paper and creating a software solution. Think about things like your process, approach, tools, techniques, etc. Can you explain how you design software within the time it takes to finish your coffee break?
Please do let me know how you get on. I'll post a follow-up next week...
