Why Software Projects Fail Before They Even Start

Most software projects do not fail because developers are bad. They fail because the wrong thing gets built. In this video I break down the real reasons tech projects fail after years working in software development and consulting: * building before validating demand * skipping discovery * failing to survey users * misunderstanding scope * underestimating infrastructure and maintenance costs * ignoring marketing * building features nobody actually needs I also walk through: * how successful projects are planned * the role of discovery and wireframing * why software should be treated more like architecture * how to prioritise features properly * why “just start building” is usually dangerous Good software is rarely an accident. The projects that succeed are usually the ones that spent the most time understanding: * the user * the business problem * the market * the real cost before writing code. — Technology for Humans Practical conversations about AI, software engineering, startups and building technology that actually works for people.
