Numerous studies since 1998 have shown that the majority of IT projects fail to meet expected outcomes. We all turned to the Standish Group’s CHAOS Report to verify and in their 2022 report they stated that 16.4% of IT projects met expectations. However, our research in 2024 found that all the CHAOS Reports are gone and can no longer be independently referenced, so we shifted to the book; How Big Things Get Done.
