??? Process.failure: When a development process is not able to produce the desired system
or could not meet the resource limitations, it is categorized as process failure.
??? Interaction.failure: Sometimes, it happens that the users are not satisfied with the
delivered system or some portion of the delivered system, which leads the users to lose
interest in that system, and hence the level of system use is decreased subsequently.
This situation is referred to as interaction failure.
??? Expectation.failure: A project always starts with some tough and high expectations
of its stakeholders; however, the resultant product may not be able to fulfill the expectations
of any or all stakeholders, thus resulting in expectation failure.
??? Terminal.failure: This is the case when a project is abandoned or cancelled before
the final delivery. Termination of a project is the last thing that can happen to a failing
project, that is, when there are no hopes of meeting any of the objectives of the
project, it is terminated.
ISDP.Failure.Statistics
Many researchers have attempted to study the extent of failure in the IS industry. A milestone
study in this area is the Chaos Report of 1994 by the Standish Group (1994).
