  This book is about information systems development failures and how to avoid them.
  
  It considers what goes wrong with information systems development projects and what actions may be taken to avoid potential difficulties.The reduction of the impact,or even the elimination of the problems,is discussed in terms of an information systems risk management programme.
  
  Stop I.T.Project failure helps to ensure that IS project managers are successful in helping to deliver application systems. However, IS development risk can never be entirely eliminated and consequently the practitioner needs to bear in mind that an IS development project is never without risk, and hence there is a continuing potential for something to go wrong.
  
  The book covers the key issues and variables and makes specific practical suggestions about the good management practice that is required to implement IS project risk processes.
