Some software project signs to watch for.
Dare Obasanjo has a Top Ten Signs Your Software Project is Doomed post in which he references some other great posts about The Schedule Chicken Game, Second System Syndrome and others pertinent issues.
Curiously, the word requirements doesn’t appear once in his list yet poorly defined requirements must be the most common reason why software projects fail. If you don’t have good requirements you can’t even get as far as most of these issues, or even use simple techniques like MoSCoW to avoid them.
On a related note, good to see How Projects Really Work continues to evolve, now at v2.0.
