Recent research highlights the alarming annual costs of failed ICT projects occurring around the globe. One study that focused on the world’s 500 largest companies revealed total annual costs of $14billion USD. More concerning are findings that more than half of all ICT projects are failing to meet the expectations of the business.Wide-spread failures also reach deep into the public sector. The 2011 failure of the Queensland Health Department to implement a new payroll system is known nationally. The project failure had a high human and social impact and resulted in intense public criticism of the government. Resulting project remediation costs currently stand at $220 million, while brand reputation damage is immeasurable and enduring. Some estimate the global enterprise losses from all enterprise ICT project failures can now be measured in trillions of dollars
