Not using the right tools, failing to do due diligance where required, and steering clear of the areas they don't like (Product Installation, ugrade scripts, EULA's, etc) all doom a project to failure, even with the best engineering talent.

I love it! I've been saying the same thing for 10 years. Excellent presentation, even with only seeing the slides. -mattyj “Don’t use Source Safe”. I love it!

Whoever put that one together sure knew his stuff! Why all the focus on orginization though? All we need to do is write the code, put up the download link, and we're done. Right?
