Think about the web and software projects you’ve completed. How many were delivered on time and on budget? How many estimates were accurate? IT projects are notorious for over-running, and here are several reasons why it occurs…

1. The project is poorly scoped
2. Development time is estimated by non-programmers
3. Developer estimates are too optimistic
4. The project is not adequately dissected
5. Estimated time is used
6. More developers != quicker development
7. The project scope changes
8. Estimates are fixed
9. Testing time is forgotten
10. Estimates are taken too literally
