Communication failure is the #1 cause of technology project failures.
Communication failure is insidious because there are no warning signs or alarms that it happens. In fact, in most cases, even after the death of a project there is no serious examination of the communication failures that caused it.
I love management. I love being a manager. I love being the guy who is responsible when things go wrong but has nothing to do with things going well.
But technology development has changed that game. It's basically flipped the idea of manager upside down. It will be quite a while for the rest of us to adapt to the change.
