#35 - The Jon Cline Show: Top 5 Reasons Why Tech Projects Fail

Update: 2025-04-29

Description

Jon Cline's show/podcast highlights significant tech project failure rates (45-95%, AI 70-85% in 2019) based on extensive data. Jon Cline argues people fail projects, not AI itself. He identifies top reasons: 1. Poor requirements/goals, 2. Ineffective communication/stakeholder management (citing Foxmeyer drug failure), and 3. Inadequate project management (favoring incremental delivery). Success requires people-first skills. Jon Cline offers resources like the AI Playground and DevPod.
