The 10 mistakes that put projects at risk of failure include:

* Never committing to project success.


* Freezing the schedule and budget before a project is sufficiently understood.

* Overscoping a solution.

* Circumventing the application development organization altogether.

* Underestimating the complexity of a problem.

* Being stingy with subject-matter experts, in which their participation is not sufficient.

* Choosing the wrong project leadership.

* Distrusting managers who have had tasks delegated to them.

* Jumping into development without enough research.

* Suppressing bad news, in which dialogue is insufficient.
