Poor coordination between business and technology, a cause of system development failure
It is said that 80% of business information system development projects end in failure, and many of these failures stem from a lack of smooth coordination between business and technical departments. Broadly speaking, the business side sits upstream and the technical side downstream in the system development flow, but what the business side requests is not always technically feasible. Moreover, in many cases technical feasibility cannot be foreseen until development has progressed to a certain extent.
Therefore, when it comes to discussing the implementation of detailed features, business and engineering are in a chicken-and-egg relationship. If each department lacks the background to understand what the other is saying, discussions do not progress smoothly, requests are made and sent back over and over again, and the project ends up moving at a crawl.
For these reasons, managing the development of information systems requires people with a practical understanding of both business and engineering.
