Description
Information systems are particularly prone to failure. Some systems never materialize, others appear late and/or over budget and those that are implemented often fail to deliver the promised levels of performance. Worse still, developers and users experience the same types of problems occurring over and over again, despite the publicity given to those systems that have failed spectacularly at enormous cost. Concentrating solely upon information systems failures, this book provides a means of analysis that promotes learning from failure with a view to preventing failure in the design, implementation and operation of information systems.
