    The hard part with traditional project management metrics and offerings is the focus on "on time" and "on budget". These metrics are deceptive, but strongly supported by project management organizations (e.g., PMI). Training and certification from these organizations may not be the best process to build successful software.

    Not having a project that is used means that the project wasn't on scope, the reason of failure is not really subtle in this case, and failure is, of course, imminent. I have published a while a go an article on why projects fail, the #1 reason in this article is Executive Level Non-Support (Note that I've published a lot of articles on this particular subject, and the failure reasons are always subjective, and never the same). Read it if you have the time (it's short and interesting) and let me know what you think.
