IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering (IOSR-JCE)Summary: Software Development normally follow a Project Management Life Cycle. By experience it is known that
software projects do succeed but many also fail to achieve set objectives, are completed beyond scheduled time
and budgets. It is hypothesized that factors leading to success or failure are determined by the presence and
interplay of a series of factors. The factors leading to software project failure have been identified. Some of the
factors are poorplanning, lack of teamwork, unrealistic budget and ambitious schedule estimations, poor
communication, lack of stakeholder’s involvement and poor leadership. A survey has been carried out on five
software projects from a business process company. Data has beenanalyzed using SPSS. It has been found that
if only one of the factors exists,a software project will fail. An appropriate balance and interplay of factors in
the appropriate dose increase chances of success, otherwise the risks of failure are considerably increased.
