Failure

I'm moderating a roundtable at an internal conference in a few weeks around the subject of failure - I want to stimulate a debate about why some projects may fail to deliver on their initial promise and what we can do about it. Of course, there is a whole heap of analysis of this stuff and process to stop it happening already but I figured it would be fun to get a group of techies into a room and kick the issue around for an hour :-)

In the course of my preparation this afternoon, I notice that David Ing is presenting on something similar (although focussed on architecture) at Microsoft's TechEd this year. There's obviously something in the water...
