From the reading: "Why Projects Fail?" Match three reasons project fail to the appropriate phase of the SDLC , justify with specific deliverable and/or technique from the SDLC phase.

Refer to Figure 1-2 on page 9 of the text book. Feel free to state reasonable assumptions to address any ambiguity.

Example: Unmanaged risks are addressed by the risk assessment deliverable of the PLANNING phase of the SDLC.

choose 3 below this

1. Unrealistic or unarticulated project goals 2. Inaccurate estimates of needed resources 3. Badly defined system requirements 4. Poor reporting of the projects status 5. Unmanaged risks 6. Poor communication among customers, developers, and users 7. Use of immature technology 8. Inability to handle the projects complexity 9. Sloppy development practices 10. Poor project management 11. Stakeholder politics 12. Commercial pressures
