The document discusses common issues with information and communication technology (ICT) projects, including frequent failures and cost overruns. It analyzes findings from a study of over 100 companies that found 68% of large ICT projects facing issues and 50% exceeding budgets and timelines. Common causes identified include unrealistic expectations from sales, inflexible processes and staff, poor management, and failure to properly define requirements or involve key users and stakeholders. The document proposes approaches like mapping current systems and flows, critical path analysis, listening to organizational needs, and modular development to help address these issues.
