Most failed software projects don't fail because of the technology. They fail because of the team. The good news is that trouble shows up early if you know what to look for: slipping deadlines with no credible end date, a budget that keeps growing, a codebase nobody can explain, recurring bugs, and a quiet loss of confidence.
The cost of a rescue rises with every month a failing project continues. Acting at the first sign is far cheaper than salvaging a collapse.
