10 Reasons of Failures in Programming Projects

10 Reasons of Failures in Programming Projects

The work of programming is one of the hardest jobs in the world. Programmers work day and night until they get their work done. In all this effort programmers work in a very efficient and professional manner and their work shows all of their hard work.

 But, a programming project is never a success always, it could be very difficult puzzle of complex coding which does not get solved even with the great and brilliant efforts of the programmers and coders and we get stacked in later stage of our project. 

So, being a programmer one is always expected to face some of the hardest problems and debug errors during the project and I’m going to throw some light on this issue that “why programming projects fail?“ By giving you ten reasons.

1. When Development Time Is Wrongly Estimated


One of the big reasons of the failure is that when the development time is calculated by non-programmers. If development time is wrong then how a project could be completed, so programmers should be there in decision making

2. When Developers Estimates Are Over Optimistic


The estimates of purely coding hours of the project should include all the possible incidents which could occur during coding hours i.e. management issues, discussions, system problem etc. some developers are over optimistic and they forget all of these happenings instead they just focus on their coding hours.

3. Testing Problems


Every code and program written in whichever language it may be, it causes problems in the testing. Sometimes, the results are very poor, at this point your project can go to failure if not lead by a good team leader.

4. When Scope Of the Project Changes


Programming is a very technical work, once you work in a specific direction then you can change or add any feature in your work at the wish of your customer or the CEO and if it is done then the project will lead to failure.

5. When You Think, Progress Will Come With A Big Team


Being a team leader when you think that the more you have the big team, more you will get progress on the project, you are wrong. The big teams can’t give progress but the better persons do.

6. When Ground Realities are Neglected


Relying heavily on the office planning and neglecting the ground realities during a programming project leads to a drastic failure. So, a project planner should be the one with high technical working experience.

7. Estimates Are Fixed, Not Updated Occasionally


This is one of the big reasons of the failure in a programming project. Estimates are one of the focal point of our project but not updating them with progress of the project is not good. It leads to a definite failure.


8. When Managers Focus The Latest Technology


It has been seen that, many of the ambitious managers who are not technically involved in the project development, they want to indulge more advanced technology in the project and hence lose the path decided during the design phase of the project.

9. Development Downtime


Many of the projects fail due to errors of development downtime. Some of the major causes of the project failures are software of infrastructure failures, malicious components, hacker, bug errors and environmental factors.

10. Lack Of Regular Assessment


The lack of regular assessments during the software development lead to failures in the project. Lack of the quality assessments is not a professional way of dealing the project and lead to failure.
