Recently we have had a lot of requests to consult on existing projects that have not gone as planned, and while there are many reasons for a project to fail, we have seen a common trend.

Technology by itself is not a solution, all projects should either:

1. Solve a problem or
2. Take advantage of an opportunity

Some people adopt technology for technologies sake, always keep the end objective in mind. Technology is an incledible tool if you know what the underlying problem or need is that you are trying to solve.

Make sure the stakeholders and users of the final product are involved in the early phases of a project and they will keep you focused on the success criteria and critical functionality.
