Project failures rates are directly related to analysis failure to identify all of the assets (processes, people, services or products, policies, intellectual property and price) that will be affected by process changes. The history of business process reengineering (BPR) and all of its manifestations of process change has focused primarily on business processes with little regard to behavior and use of human capital. I have witnessed stakeholders intentionally sandbagging projects due to the potential loss of power. The presumption that process improvement will eliminate positions that report to me or more frequently, process change will cost me my job must be taken into account. A failure to sell projects to stakeholders in clear and concise manner that addresses the question, ?What?s in it for me,? have the highest failure rates.
the project failure analysis is essential to address the evaluation of technical problem such as stability and performance which need a significant improvement.
failing to design longer-term policy
as well as failed to address the fundamental changes to third party business structure linked to the risks of the project. failure of evaluating governance and other key failing of the project such as Legal issues design, provision and operation of information systems. for instance the regulation and legal (ISO 270002 & Relevant Standard )
agood example of failirue can be prensented on the following link :
systems for the Child Support Agency
http://www.nao.org.uk/publications/0506/child_support_agency_%E2%80%93_impleme.aspx
you may find out the failure of the governance frame work on that Agency.
the questin arise how you develope system to avoide the governance failure?

Project failure is one, if not the most important factor when I deliver my PPM or PMO presentations. I rely on the related processes and functions to address the high number of project failures.
One of my key recommendations I make is to address the culture-based aversion to the word "failure." We need to use the "F-word" to:
- Admit there is a problem in the first place
- Marshall the advocacy to address the problem
- Establish the conventions and mechanisms to battle failures (like Killing Projects)
- Ensure the first thing we do after we make a decision is to question the decision to ensure we made the correct decision (which requires accepting that we may be on a path to failure)
For most of the enterprises I encounter, changing attitudes toward the concept of failure, even simply using the word, is the greatest obstacle to improving the rate of project success.
