The decision to invest in the the project originates from a need or opportunity that has been identified.
✘ Business goals were not communicated making the project cost-driven.
✘ Being unaware of the business goals made it hard for the team to react to unforeseen problems.
✘ The project was given a way too small budget.

A requirement is a capability to which a project outcome should conform and should ideally capture more than just easily observable and measurably aspects.
✘ The requirements focused on the superficial.
✘ The requirements were not relevant to the business goals.
✘ Requirements were written by someone whose expertise skewed them towards the easily definable.

The competitive bidding process helps winnow bidders, stimulate competition and procure services at the lowest possible price.
✘ Relying only on a bidding process often tends to make the buyer only look to price, ignoring ability to perform.
✘ Bids rely heavily on software estimation which is hard, if not near impossible.
✘ Optimistic assumptions and estimates put the seller in a “knife to the throat” situation.

Project execution is what usually takes most time and deals with directing and managing the project, its assets and its progress.
✘ Designed to make the buyer feel secure, instead it caused much stress, frustration killing motivation.
✘ The inflexible execution prevented the project from gaining from ongoing learning.

In the long term, projects aren’t evaluated based on how well they fulfill the requirements to the letter but how well they have the desired result.
✘ Very few members of the project team were aware of the expected result.
✘ WidgetCo’s project failed to deliver the results the executive sponsors had been hoping for.
