Projects that have Failed
Instructions
1. Have you participated in the creation of a project that failed?
2. Why did it fail?
3. Based on the System Development Life Cycle Model, what could have been done to help the project succeed?
Remember, the SDLC can be applied to almost any activity (including meal preparation or a move or buying a car, etc.). If you have never participated in a project that failed, you can use an example of a project that you have heard of or you can just provide your opinion on what you think might be some of the causes of failed projects. Base your responses on the phases of the SDLC.
If someone is interested in a model that applies to teamwork development, take a look at Tuckman's
model. This .pdf file contains a description of Tuchman and his model.

It took me quite some time before I realized that investments should be thoroughly studied and researched.
In line with the topic of Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC), I believed that my future investments would be much better if I systematically approached this ‘trial...
