Lack of user involvement - Mars Rover Project - Counting NASA as the user [X] Long or unrealistic Time Scales - TAURUS [X] Poor or no requirements - Using a personal example (Hope he accepts it...) [X] Scope Creep - (Using TAURUS as my study) [ ] No change control system - Need to find something!! ;-; [X] Poor testing - HM Revenue and Customs If anybody is willing to help me locate some case studies which are of UK projects I would be most grateful, the materials provided by the class are of mostly non UK projects, which is 'slightly' stupid as he wants UK examples... I've tried googling, but all I can find is 200 PDFs of why projects fail and US examples, nothing which is really applicable ;-;
The only way to fail is to stop trying.

Absolutely. Failure should always be accomplished without effort. (I don't think that's really what you meant, is it?)
True, there's nothing worse that expending extreme effort and then failing. Better to fail right off.
